could a 12gal support 3 damsels ?

[dhughesz28]

Hi all, could a 12gal FOWLR support 3 damsels and cleanup crew?? or would this be to much of a bio-overload? I have two small (1” each) yellow tails in a 46 that need to be removed/punished for beating up a tang. I have heard that these are better kept in odd numbers, so I would like to get a third one. Plus my LFS has a really cool damsel that I would love to get. Just wanted to make sure he would fit in my damsel tank. I would defiantly have to add more LR as I know that these are really territorial..
4" aragonite w/ 15lb LR in an eclipse 12 system in case you were going to ask...

might be extremely territorial and kill each other in a tank that small...

Yes Damsels are VERY VERY territorial. Make sure they both have a place they can live without fighting.

you could keep 3 bio-load wise, but as everyone said they are very very territorial
