damsles

Is there a type of fish that I can put in the tank with a damsel? Thanks

 

[crabsrkewl]

It depends what type of damsel. What kind do you have

 

[summerdaze]

I have one with the yellow tail and the other two are plain blue. thanks

you can do a lionfish .........lol if the tank is big enough...lol
j/k ... we need to know the size of the tank...

I have a 125 gal. I know I want to get a few clowns but not sure if they will work with damsels,thanks again

i think with a tank that large you may regret the decisions of damsels later ... they get large and aggresive and tend to stress out fish.(ich)

I know this isnt right but I went by my lfs store advice and used them to cycle my tank. I didnt know any better. Not sure what I should do? Do I take these out of the tank? thank again

 

[coachklm]

for such a large tank.... what are your goals? aggressive? reef? docile?

I cycled my tank with them. After it cycled I removed the live rock and stored it in coolers with tank water. I netted the damsels and mollys, and flushed. I have had damsels that worked well with other fish and I had some that were aggressive. I would suggest some blue/green reef chromis fish. They school together and help coax out shy fish in the reef. They look nice and are very friendly to other inhabitants. I decided to take the damsels out now so that once I added corals I would not have to destroy the tank trying to get them out. Whats done is done, if you are finished with them and the LFS will not take them back get rid of them. I would try to take them to the LFS and trade for some hermits or something, they may go for it.

i do not promote the flushing of any creature.......... put a flyer out or craigslist em...flushing is lazy(unless their dead)

 

[crabsrkewl]

[summerdaze]
