I have had two yellowtail damsels for about 13 years. Best two fish ever! They are same sex so not a pair. They share a six foot tank I never see either one cross over the center
Without a challenge from the other. Beautiful fish.

I just got one Starcki male and have another one from DD coming that looked like a female to me.
The male is currently in a QT with a pair of neon dottybacks. He chases them once in a while when he feels they get too cheeky but never follows them to actually harm them (they do that enough on their own)
I had a pair of starcki in the past and they never did any damage. I kept them with a pair of percula and those were clearly the meaner fish.

LOL my Percula are sweethearts, but then again they are just over a year old so that might have something to do with it. I would expect a lot of aggression with having both the Dottybacks and the Damsels together. The Starcki is the only Damsel I would consider and even then I might not get one. But they are a very beautiful fish.

Thanks Josh, I called LA and asked what the sg was and they had me tell them what each fish was and they all should be between 1.020-1.025 So I will have the water ready at 1.021-1.022 that little bit won't matter with adding a half a cup of tank water every 5 mins then at 30 min into the tank they go. One at a time.
