Which fish can live with a damselfish

How big were they when you go them?

Inch and a half maybe? Two have stayed relatively small and the third is huge.

I wonder if introduction size and numbers help with the aggression of these fish?

I know from experience that adding aggressive fish of the same type at the same time really helps. Have done this with damsels and pj cardinals. Both groups did not show aggression to other newly introduced fish just the usually chasing of themselves from time to time. I tend to understock when it comes to fish though. Example, the cardinals share a reefer 250 with a clown and that's it fish wise.

I have seen that damsels are aggresive, there are any fish that lives without issues on a damsel tank or damsels need a species only tank?

Larger sharks. Avoid the smaller sharks as they become way too stressed from damsels. ;-)

Funny you should mention that. I have a few posts about it on my build thread, but basically I had to move the damsel to my 2nd tank, which is a BioCube. I introduced a new Kole tang about a month ago, and the three-stripe damsel and my clownfish did major damage. The tang is doing fine now, but I moved the clown and the damsel to my BioCube, which was fishless at the time. The azure damsel never paid a bit of attention to the tang. I'm thinking about moving them back to the 90 after "timeout" in the BioCube.

Hey there, curious if you were able to introduce your damsel back to the tank with the kole tang. I have a domino damsel (there were 3 but one killed the other two although I got them at the same time). My tank is 65gal and I would love to add more fish
