hi. anyone know if these are nasty or placid? i can't find any clear info on them. i know they're a chrysyptera species (c. tricincta), & that genus contains some very placid damsels like starckii & springeri, but also some dodgy ones. what are pandas like?
 
Quick Google search seems to indicate that Chrysiptera tricincta gets quite aggressive with age. IMHO not a great choice for a tank under about 120g; the more space a damsel has, the less pressure it's going to feel to fight the other fish for territory. In a big tank, it's likely to find a preferred area and defend it, but won't do much more than chase other fish away from that space -- similar to clowns, which are fairly closely related AFAIK.
