Somebody gave me two damsels. What to do?

[chrisbenavides]

A friend of mine who is moving out of town came to my house to give me two damsels (a blue damsel and a yellow tail one). I always heard that they are "bad" fish or "the devil" of fishes. Why?

So anyways, I guess I didn't want to argue with him too much about it, and decide to keep them. I haven't placed them in the tank yet, but I am very tempted to go to a LFS and give them away.

What do you all think I should do with these damsels?

I have a yellow tang, two clowns, bicolor blenny, royal gramma, and a Spooted Cardinalfish.

THANKS!!!

go ahead and give them to the LFS...

I second that. I would not put in your tank

ever since I joined RC I have seen this consensus. I guess I'll lie to the guy and hope he doesn't find out. :S

If noone wants to take them, you could always give it to sushi chief j/k

On serious note, if I read correctly, you pretty much maxed out on fish population in your 55 gallon tank. So, this is not a question of keeping it or not, IMO.

problem solved. I took them to a LFS and he gladly took them in. I am mean they are healthy and everything and he can make some money.

Thanks everyone for assuring me what I knew.
