For ten years, I kept a tomato clown, a false perc clown, and a four-stripe damsel in a 29 gallon tank. For several years I also had a yellow-tail damsel in there. Know who the boss of the tank was? The tomato clown, who will even attack me. The four-stripe spent most of his time trying to stay out of the tomato's way, and the yellow-tail was too busy protecting a rock down low in the tank to cause much damage. It's foolish to say that a damsel will automatically turn psycho. In all the years I've kept fish, I've never had a damsel stand out as the most aggressive fish in any of my tanks.

I would venture to guess that if you took a poll, you would see how lucky you have been. I would predict that way over 1/2 of the aquariast on this site that have had damsel experience, have had a bad one. Alot of it depends on the order of addition of fish and tank mates types. I know of numeorus tank tear downs to get them out. I think it is "foolish" to risk it if you have a choice?
IMO

I don't know if I've been lucky, but stocking order can definitely play a part. I do find it funny when people blame damsels for beating up certain fish when there are a lot of somewhat aggressive fish that are capable of beating up delicate fish. In my opinion, maybe it's the delicate fish that shouldn't have been put in the tank. Like in the case of firefish. Nearly anything will go aggro on them because they're such pushovers.
