hello i am new to the hobby but loving it so far i have 3 tanks a 55g, 30g, and a 10g. My 55 is already set up with live rock filter heater...getting a skimmer soon, in the tank i have 5 green chromis, 2 yellowtail damsels, and one either azure or fiji blue damsel, and a purple dottyback. can i add 2 ocellaris clownfish as well? its why i started the hobby in the first place. In my 30g i have 1 neon blue velvet damsel and 2 blue sapphire damsels they all get along great. When i get my 10g tank set up i am not sure what to do wit it any suggestions? and what is the difference between azure damsel and fiji blue devil they look very similar

Hi Wendy,
Welcome to SWF!
If you don't have a QT, I'd use your 10 gal as a one, esp. since all of those ill-tempered fish (not the chromis) you have may decide to beat up any newcomers. Most peeps want to get RID of their damsels once they start going postal (clownfish are damsels, BTW), but you might be into damsels and know the risks.
Once your clownfish pair up, there's more of a chance of aggression if they decide to stake a claim someplace or breed.
HTH
