I thought I would share this because of all the damsel terroizing tank stories.
I've had my 75 gllon for about 3 months, and my wife loves the way blue damsels look. I really didn't want to get one after reading about how they can be tank terrors. But after looking at diffent fish prices and what was available. I somewhat gave in. We went to the store and I still made it felt that I didn't want to put one in, but we got a blue damsel and yellowtail damsel, some of the smallest they had with the agreement that if they chased the other fish, they were going back. I acclimated them for 2 hours then put them in the tank right before we took the dogs for a walk. Whe we came back I went to the tank expecting the damsels to be chasing my other fish :scared: . When I looked in I saw that my lemonpeel (2") and strawberry baslet (3") had them both in a corner ***) . Through the rest of the evening the 2 damsels stayed in the corner, and every few minutes it seemed like the basslet or lemonpeel would come over and make sure the damsels were still there. During feeding time, the lemonpeel allowed them to eat, but after they were put back in there corner. They kept this up all night. During the whole ordeal Nemo just swam around the whole tank, minding his own business and going where ever he wanted. Just thought I'd share.
