ading a black and gold damsel a good idea?

[belly up]

i have a 30g with an ocellaris clown in it and i was planning on adding another clown and a duky jawfish. i like how the black and gold damsels look would it be ok to add him if i added him last or do they get oo aggressive. if so would someone rcomend another fish for that set up

Is it a chromis species? If so, it's probably not very aggressive and shouldn't be a problem.

im not sure it is called a black and gold "damsel" so i assume it is not a chromis

I wouldn't if I were you, but if you must just be sure you are aware this is the last fish you will ever add unless you take the damsel out permanently before hand.

Where have you seen this fish? Can you post a pic or a link of some sort?

I got this from a website and they said it was a chromis but if you ask me it definately looks like a damsel (non-chromis), and I would avoid it.

It looks more like a chromis to me. If it is, then it's probably not quite as aggressive as a straight up damsel. I'd try to find more info, though. At the end of the day, if you really want it, go for it.
Hey dskrezyna, I just noticed that you're in my neck of the woods. Whereabouts do you live?

Very pretty damsel, but most are. If you're gonna get it, yes add it last.

In a 30 with a pair of clowns, I would strongly urge against it. There will be lots of fighting.

 

[belly up]

ok im not going to get it. any suggestions on a new fish for me to add? would a lawnmower blenny get along with the dusky jawfish?
