Are Limbaughi Damsel/Chromi aggressive?

[thirdchild]

LA calls it a damsel but the scientific name is Chromis limbaughi, so it's actually a chromi right?

I've been poking around for something active and blue to join 2 clowns, 1 banggai, 1 tailspot blenny and 1 goby in a 40b mixed reef with clam.

Will this guy bully everything else I've got?

Thanks!

I've always wanted one. Too pricey for me to attempt. I've blown my stash on the Blue Reef Chromis that seem to be impossible to keep.

Hmm and I was thinking of the Blue Reef as a backup. Aren't chromis suppose to be easy?

Well... it does look like a damsel and those are all evil. Hmmm, maybe someone who has one can chime in.

Well I bought it. Let's be optimistic and think this will be a model citizen. If it is a chromi, it'll be a lonely one. I'm not getting anymore of these.

They act just like blue green chromis. Small ones get along just fine but big males will fight to the death. LA only sells full grown males so keeping a school is impossible. As far as them being aggressive with other fish, they're completely harmless. I've never seen them even try to nip at other fish.

That's great. It's exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks!

FYI, in case anyone needs to know. I'd call this guy semi-aggressive. He's perfect with any fish that came in before him or with him. But the Limbaughi did chase the fish I added after him.
