are blue damsels extremely aggressive?

[celbrise]

I had a pair of blue damsels and they got along fine for 3 weeks. then one killed the other. now just today i found my royal gramma basslet swimming upside down and i assumed it was just the current being too strong because it was doing fine a few hours ago then i found it being harrased by the blue damsel.

Idk if the royal gramma will survive the night i got it in a quarantine net atm but im wondering are blue damsels really this aggressive? i have other fish in here that i am sure it will target next and im just ready to get rid of it if that is the case. give it back to the pet store i got it from.

all the fish in this tank are pretty mellow even the aggressive fish besides this one. this one harrases other fishes and it seems every 3 weeks it kills off another fish. just wondering is this fish THIS aggressive in general?

any ways to stop it from being so aggressive otherwise? i'd hate to get rid of it but i don't want my other fish to die either. this is a 55gal tank and it has quite a few cracks for the fish to hide and sleep.

the damsel will most likely harass your fish untill you get it out. and the bad news it that it will only get worse. and it yeas this is very common.

Let me say it before Flower does - these fish are devils incarnate. As they mature they will harass you fish, and attack your hand, even drawing blood, if you are so foolish as to put your hand into your tank.

I'd stay away from damsels except for chromis and clowns. Even some clowns can be pretty aggressive.

Yellow tail damsels are the least aggressive of the bunch. Blues are aggressive yes, the gramma Wont Survive If U Put It Back In W It.

i use to agree with that but recently my yellow tail turnd evil over night and would attack all my fish so i put him in a tank with local predator fish 5x's his size and he started to beat up the smaller fish and started to compete with the predators for food. i thought he was gona get eaten. i have another damsel in ther and he dosent do that. i would just recomend to stay away from thoes guys.
