Damsels... aggresive or passive

[sultan]

I have gotten fed up of loosing alot of money when my tank gets wiped out by disease. I am going to have a damsel tank but I remember how much of a pain in the ass some damsels are... Which ones are less aggressive............?

Any type of "Chromis".

I agree with the above post. They like to be in schools so they should work out well for you.

I would have to agree that Chromis are quite passive, they are very colorful fish. Look out for the Domino Damisels those are totally the oppisite of the Chromis. Later Lisa

You can loose any fish to disease, I know damsels are tougher, but by in large they all get meaner when they get bigger, except for maybe the green chromis. You need to find out why you have a problem with looseing fish, are you useing a Q-tank, and are you buying healthy fish form a good lfs? Are you adding your fish too quickly, Alot of people make that mistake, I know I did. Good Luck

Yeah I'd go with the Green Chromis...very peaceful.

The Chromis is definently number one in passiveness, but number two is probably the blue-finned or royal damsel. This guy is cool. Lots of color in him, and nice, although I don't know if you can have lots of him in one tank like the chromis'.
