The biggest one can be a bully to his own species as well as other peaceful fish

I've found them be a great spevies. Comparable to azure and talvots, but it does get a little bigger than either.

I had one that was annoying to me at least, because I like the damsel behavior of protecting a small alcove, but this one would swim all over the tank above the rocks.

I've been looking at these also. A local has three, they are bigger and a little more boisterous than his talbots, but they are in a 30 gal. They seem fairly typical of Chysiptera damsels

A single on dd for 40 bucks!

Was there? Must have missed it. I dont think I'd likely pay the DD premium for damsels :D. I'm just thinking ahead for what other damsels I will try to shoehorn into my tank. Thanks for the comments everyone.

I wouldn't pay that premium either. LA price of 20 seems a bit much for a damsel to honest.

Hopefully you try some so when I'm ready I'll know what to expect!

I know, but for some odd reason I found it very funny ..... going mad I think.
