Hello all, today i saw a talbot damsel alone at the lfs and decide to take it home. I have a 25 gallon tank that finished cycling and its just the talbot, a lysmata and the cuc.
What other fishes could go with it? Would a pair of amphirion perideraion go well with it? Other fish?
I read that the talbot are the least aggressive of the damsel with the springeri, is it true?
After the acclimatation the talbot darted inside the rocks, is it normal?

Sounds like normal behavior.
When adding other fish to a system with any damsel types I like to do so quickly, unless otherwise indicated. The longer a damsel has to stake out territory the harder it is on new fish introductions .
In my 25 I keep 3 yellow tail damsels and a clown.

They like good rockscape
Yeah i have a good 28 inches rockscape, with lots of cranny and couple of arch, the talbot darted inside one of the cranny, it was so fast!

I was thinking about an ecsenius stigmatura and a pair of perideraion or sandaricinos

Talbots are great. I have had them in tanks ranging from 7 gallons to 150 gallons. In numbers from one, to several. Like others have said, 'if' it was in a small tank alone for a while, it might think the whole tank belongs to it. But move a few rocks around, and you should be able to introduce virtually anything you want. Best wishes!
