Damsel Question

[pfan151]

I recently bought a yellow tailed damsel (Chrysiptera parasema) for my 24g Nano cube. I know damsels have the reputation for being evil and am aware that I may have to take it out at some point, but even though they are so common, I really think it is what of the nicest looking fish available (Especially under my LEDS, it almost seems to glow). No other fish that I know of matches the intensity of their blue coloration. I currently have a well established pair of snocasso's and a neon goby. My question is, would I be better off having two yellow taileds so they spend most of their time pestering eachother or am I best to stick with the single that I added yesterday? Thanks for any suggestions.

If your fish seems happy and isn't harrassing anybody else, I think you're fine with what you have and don't need to add more.

I'm with you, such an underappreciated species and so beautiful. I keep a pair (started with a group of 5) and they are well behaved except for the female when she is guarding eggs. I would probably skip doing a pair in that tank because they will breed, probably sooner rather than later, and the females are hell on wheels when she is guarding a nest. The extreme right side of my 180 is swim at your own risk when the female yellowtail is in one of her moods.

I would stick to one. I just bought a starcki damsel and to me it is one of the nicest looking fish out there. The azure and yellowtail are nice too.
