My current setup is a 175g bowfront. With regards to the "damsel family" I started with a pair of percula clowns and 6 blue/green chromis. Then added 1 three stripe and 1 yellow tail. Everyone is doing fine except the chromis, they are picking each other off and getting bullied by the clowns. I will be taking them out but wanted to get a handful of damsels as I like the constant movement in the tank. I was thinking about 5 more yellowtails or blue velvets. Anyone successfully done this in a larger tank?

Other fish in the tank are 5"+tangs, 6"trigger, 3"+anthias an 3"+dwarf angels) so I'm not worried about the other fish getting bullied around.

In my display tank I have 2 Fiji Blue Devils, A purple and yellow damsel, a Stegassi Damsel, 6 Kupang Damsels, 2 yellow chromis, 5 metalic blue chromis, and 2 Starkii Damsels.

I have probably another 35 other fish in the tank, including 4 percs and 2 black percs.

The last damsels I added were the purple/yellow. They were in really rough shape when I got them and they were bullied by the Blue Devil damsels.
 
I have a 90 gallon tank and have two mocha clowns and 8 blue/green chromis and everyone gets along. In fact the clown "school" wing the chromis. I plan on getting 12 more chromis when I get my 180gallon tank in the coming weeks
