2 'more' damsels? Do you have others, already? It's very likely that the established one(s) will harrass the additions, possibly to the point of extreme stress and death.

Yeah, the majority of damsels have temperments that range from aggressive to totally aggressive. They can be brutal - often to other fish, but almost always amongst themselves. You can try to seperate the bullies or the 'victim' by moving fish to a sump, seperating the tank with egg-crate, etc. They really can beat/subdue other fish to the point of death.
An MX'er, huh? Cool! I used to ride, too - LOL. I'm just comming back from a number of broken bones and the subsequent lack of ambition, but it really is a great sport. I'm getting ready to listen to the Anahiem 2 supercross right now.
