I've kept quite a few different types of smaller damsels and chromis over the years, and looking to add a few fish to my tank soon. I'd like to go with a blue/yellow variety, either a single or a small group depending on their needs. I've already kept C. alleni and C. hemicyanea, so not interested in those atm.

If you've kept any of (Or several of?) the following, I'd appreciate if you'd take a moment to give your impressions. I know the behaviors of even similar looking fish can be pretty different, and most websites just give boilerplate "damsels can be agressive, max length X inches" type info that's not very useful, especially after witnessing first hand the variety of different behaviors that can be expected from different species, even if closely related.

you can keep pomacentrus in small group in large tank . Starcki is more agressive between own species , so maybe hard to make them together, unless trying to make a pair...
I had kept stacki few times (they are very rare in Brazil) and never be able to put 2 or more together... always the dominant fish beat the others...
