I'm wanting to add 1 or 3 striped damsels to my 55. I would like to know if they are as mean as the blue or yellow tailed damsels.
I had a blue damsel with 3 yellow tangs and a tomato clown and he harrassed them to death before I new what was going on and I don't want to loose anymore fish to a bully

like all damsels they are quite aggressive and can be mean ,,,,,, but if you have a larger number of them with places too hide it can be done...... this way they will keep each other in check and no one is really the "boss"
 
All damsels are very territorial, and I don't think that any other them are more so than others, it just depends on how big they are. I think that if you just have hte one blue, and get two to three striped, that they will be okay. If the striped are small sized get three, if they are good sized get two, and if it looks like they are bigger than the blue, just get one. Size counts.
