damsel compatible?

[scuba-raru]

Question for the fish heads out there...
I have a 10gal FOWLR, been set up about 7 weeks, I have 8lbs LR and I put in a blue damsel and two pepp.shrimp about three weeks ago. I want to add a 2nd fish, want to get a firefish, will the damsel harrass it to death?
thanks for the input

They will probably harass it, just maybe not to the death but until you will feal sorry for the firefish. But you never know, every fish has a different personality

I have a blue damsel, too. He's actually not that agressive, but he is an active swimmer and a hard hitting feeder. When I put a firefish in there, he eventually died, and I think it's because he was so passive compared to the others, so it's something to consider. You might have to take him out if it doesn't work out.

i have a blue damsel as well but i got him in with some fish that can take care of themselves. blue damsels are pretty territorial unfortunately and will probably pick on the firefish. i would put something in there that can take care of itself...maybe some more damsels to be honest... cause you only have a 10 gallon

unfortunatly its a 50/ 50 chance for you but I once had a firefish along with 7 dif types of damsels I baught them in pairs +1 blue finned my firefish and tang (dory) where the first to go my damsels harrresed them like crazy.this was in a 125 gal.the blues were the most agressive at the time.just kep a close eye on them they like to chew at others fins and tails.
