I had five of them and I was planning to sell them and so I held on to them for a little while in the end only one survived, they're just like all the other damsels. These in a group are aggressive. Aggressive to each other, I didn't have any other fish to see how they would behave with different fish period Bummer

The ORA lemon is pretty but a Pomacentrus moluccensis family and not the more friendly family of Chrysiptera. The lemon sort of reminds of me of the green/blue chromis. The one you want if you want a yellow damsel is the Canary Deep Water Chrysiptera Galba. However, you won't want the price :)

Damsels are fine. Great actually. As long as we understand the different families and inner workings. There are members here who have over 60 damsels in their display with great success and harmony. Multi damsels in a tank you want them to be in the Chrysiptera family. Otherwise you need to keep a fish only and limit what you put in there.

Edit: can't spell this morning. Hopefully those are corrected now.

Edit 2: spelling seems to be a bit tough in general :D I think it is good now...

So, 5 months later ... what are your thoughts?

I’ve kept a couple of pomacentrus species, lemon and Ambon. They grow a bit bigger than chrysiptera so requires some space. Both were fine in my tank. Ambon I still have.
