Anyone love damsels?

I started off my tank 2 years ago with 4 damsels in a 29 gallon. My plan was to get the tank established and then get new fish. After a while I began to become attached and couldnt get rid of them. Does anyone else have a tank full of damsels? I think they look great and are easy to care for also reef safe. I am going on 2 years with the same four fish. Does anyone know how long they live? Seems like most people on this site dont like damsels. Just wondering if anyone else likes them

I absolutely love my Damsels! The baby Clownfish pay for my entire setup and the adult Clowns are really enjoyable.

I love my big black damsel . He rocks , But then he is in an aggressive set up with a humu humu . So his robust attitude fits in perfectly .

Some people keep an all damsel set up. If you like them then keep them.
Just for fun, what kind of damsels do you have? As mentioned, clownfish are a type of damselfish.
You have had these guys for two years, they must get along somewhat, or have gotten used to being together.
I really dislike the phrase, "Nuke the tank". What is that supposed to mean? How can fish "Nuke" a system? I am just looking for clarification on this term.

They pick up the RED phone talk for a minute get a very complex look on their face then they order the strike . Codes are entered ,keys are turned , and buttons are pushed . A count down insues and then missles are launched . Bombers are deployed . Mothers run for their children , there is a bright flash of light and then a boom , A shock wave travels across the horizon . Things melt and burn to a crisp .

Yeah, that is what some people (not just this thread, the term is tossed around a LOT) act like, should a person's PH drop, the wrong fish are added, you add 2lbs of uncured rock, whatever. People get silly with it. Tanks do not get "NUKED" unless a bomb happens to drop on it. I am fairly confident that most people's tanks will be spared and that issues may come up, but they can be fixed. That is what we are here for. With the exception of a nuclear blast, we will be here to help with whatever problems happen

I've never owned a damsel other than the maroon clowns I have. But I think they're cool looking fish.
