Success with a Group of Damsels

That's awesome, Simon.

Have you noticed any pairing off, or any hierarchy starting?

Will you add more yellow tails, or a different species?

Curious about this too. I imagine it won't be long until you start seeing spawning. Hopefully they will remain peaceful after breeding starts.

It's a big tank :lol: .... 400 net gallons. They have mostly broken off into two groups of six, though no apparent pecking order. I have quite a few larger fish, which tends to keep them in line. I will get another 20 or so either of the regular yellow tile or azures. I have no real preference, mostly what is available.

Would be cool if they spawn, though most of them are quite small (nominally 1") so probably some maturing to do still.

You can see some of them in this picture ..... if the finned piggies didn't always photo bomb me.

I suppose...big enough tank that they don't always have to all hang out together.

I wondered about the outcome of mixing species, or staying within the Chrysiptera but using something that looks different, like Talbot's.
 
Wow, nice! Reassuring news. I'd like to try this in the future.


Is their behavior still similar to what you said earlier?

Yea, they really don't bother any of the other fish. I have 3 Rolland, 5 talbot, 5 azure and approximately 36 yellowtail. I did buy two as talbot, but they aren't. Not sure what they are, so hopefully not problematic.
