I just purchased three damsels 2 of which are blue w/yellow bellies and one is just blue. In my 29 I have 4 damsels that are blue w/yellow tails and in my 75 I have a blk and wht striped, a blue neon damsel, a tomato clown and a lawnmower blenny. My ? is which tank would my three new damsels have a better chance of survival in?

damsels as a rule are extremely territorial and as they grow older, get meaner and meaner. The better chance for success is to put them in your larger tank and hope. I had a 90g reef set up and never had good success with more than 2 and as they got older, they fought constantly.
I think that you've probably got too many already and would advise you to see if your LFS would take some back in trade for more compatible specimens. Just my opinion!

Some damsels are much more aggressive than others but there's no way to tell from your description and even with photos it can be difficult
Neither tank sounds like a good candidate for any new damsels anyway
. I'd take them back and get something else. Sorry to sound harsh, but that's the way it is.
