I am wondering if I can have more than one damsel in my 30 gallon cube?

The ones I had in mind were the azure(Chrysiptera hemicyanea) and the blue sapphire(chrysiptera springeri). The azure is among my favorite fish so one of them is a must, but is the 30 cube too small for a 2nd chrysiptera damsel of some kind? Some posts online suggest a group of 3 is better which I would be fine with, but again I wonder about the space. A group of azures would be fine with me as well, or maybe the same species is actually more of a problem than different species?

Tank is currently fish-less , so can add them all at once if that helps.

Thanks for any help!

Possibly two, but it really depends on the individual fish. I have 6 (4 different species) in my tank, but it's also 160 gallons. My azure always got along with the sapphire devils.

Thank you for the response. I imagine the 160 is very different than my 30 which is why I am worried.

Hence the suggestion for 2 (max). The sapphire blue devils, azures and tabot have (so far) all been fairly peaceful in my experience. Avoid the yellow tail and domino damsels in smaller tanks.
