Paired Occyz w/ Damsel on 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

Odds are that you're in for a war if you add the damsel. Clownfish are damnsels in pretty pajamas. If they've been in there a while and have paired up they're not going to tolerate a conspecific in their tank.


IME a 12 gallon would be maxed out with a pair of clownfish.

instead of a fish you can try a shrimp or two
