Damsel pair? ! ?

[vcam]

Hey guys,

I purchased a single small damsel today! After trying to find the most mellow candidate... I settled on a Chrysiptera springeri or springer's damsel. Decided on only one since I've read keeping multiple will end up with a single in the end.

However, I just read a post claiming that keeping damsels alone makes them more aggressive towards other fish. no females to chase etc... I current keep a Solaris wrasse,pintail wrasse, watchman goby and 2 small os. clowns in a 50g mixed reef.

Should I purchase a friend for the new Springers? or would that just make more fighting!? :fish2:

I'd say no. A 50 is fairly small for two. A chrysiptera is fairly mild in demands, and won't likely cause any trouble beyond bickering with the clowns (who are also damsels, and paired, which often makes for aggression.)

Perfect thanks !
