what can I add with this blue devil?

[sprang]

What other fish can I add that will hold their ground with a blue damsel?

What size is your tank?

 

[sammiefish]

sure, get fish bigger than the BD... Ive never owned a damsel other than a clown but I have heard the become more territorial/aggressive with age. My Clarkii seems to be controlling too.... he goes to corral my YT when he thinks there is trouble... goes out and heards him into the hiding spots in the rock... weird

I want to put a r.gramma but I think she will pick on it, so what about a bi-color pseudo.

 

[sammiefish]

Royal gramma's are tough too... and territorial... I had a percula and a gramma years ago.. they got along fine

 

[sprang]

will try thanks!

so you got a 12 gallon nano with blue devil damsel? I have a blue devil damsel in a 10 alone. If I had to put fish in with him I would only put in at least three more damsels to keep him confused. If I were you I would take back the blue devil and get two clowns. But if you keep him, I don't rightly know what you can put in there without him harasssing it or the other way around :happy:

Shrimps are fun to watch too!

 

[evilss]

cool pic of the shrimp. are those the sexy shrimp? if so how do you like them?

 

[ripfish]

my damsels are wusses they are scared of everything, they are daring though they will mess with my clarkii (who is a bully) and my yellow tang ( who is nice until he gets bored) other than that they seem fine

I agree damsels are very mean. I would consider taking him back.
My Clarkii is a bully too! He tries his best to bite me when Im doing maintenance.
Hasnt got me yet(knock on wood)
