Although a decent amount of fish for a 30 gal, you may be able to get away with it...
you have a protein skimmer?

IMO I don't think a 3 stripe is a good idea. I have one in my 30gl and he trys to beat up everything. You may be able to do it though.
Good Luck and have fun.

I had a 3 stripe damsel in my 24 gallon with 2 perc clowns when I started and they fought all the time. I final took them out. I added a royal gramma and a golden head sleeper goby. All are getting along fine and parameters are great.
I do have a big clean up crew with about 45 lbs of LR also.....I think this helps alot.

IMO, I think you could get away with that, however, if it were me, I would forget about the damsel. They are just mean fish, and it can't hurt your bioload to have one less fish.
It does sound like a fun tank. The 6 line wrasse and hawk fish are 2 of my favorites.

i already have the damsel and hawk fish in the tank. any way to get the damsel out? he is still pretty tine about 1.5 in. i want to put a royal gramma or hi fin goby in his place. any ideas on how to get him out? i was thinking of buying a dwarf lion to eat him then get rid of the lion since they are slow swimmers.
