Damsel w/ paired Black Oscellaries on a 12g nano..

[MarvinsReef]

Is this trouble? I just saw an awesome blue (yellow top fin, yellow belly) damsel that's about an 1" big.. will he be trouble for my paired black Oscellaries that are about 1.25" (female) & .75" (male)... they're house in a 12g nano with plenty of LR...

Thanks

Its hard enough to find a good black pair of O's....why even risk it by adding a notoriously aggressive fish in the mix, especially in a small tank. Personally I wouldn't do it.

Why not try some peaceful fish. If you want color, the Blue Reef Chromis might be an idea (not the usual blue green), or maybe a Royal Gramma.

I wouldn't add a damsel to the mix.

I wouldn't add him if I were. And personally, I wouldn't add any other fish. You already have 2 fish that can exceed 3 inches in a 12 gallon tank.

yup.. that's why I ask first...

just thought he was a beautiful fish..
