I'm tired of losing my Green Chromis (I usually start with 6 and end up with 2) and want to try a school of Damselfish. Which type can I keep that are peaceful and can be kept in groups?
 
I had the same problem with green chromis, I finally gave up. I've been thinking of blue eyed/thread fin cardinals, but have heard similar problems with them.
 
Damsels are in the same family as clownfish. They will make a pair then become aggressive with others left over. Some might still live, but you won't have the number you start with. The smaller damsels could work. Yellow Tail damsels are not to aggressive, and don't get very big.
 
I added a Paraglyphidodon melas today and so far it is really peaceful, I have had them in the past and they all were good, but I only do one at a time.

I have also mixed in a pair of Chromis retrofasciata with good success too.
