Yellow Tailed vs Azure Damsels

[Bear Claw]

Tomorrow I will pick up a tailspot blenny for my QT to enter my 32.5 reef tank. I was going to get a yellow-tailed damsel and the tailspot but my LFS does not have any. They do, however, have Azure damsels. Is it worth it to just get the Azure or should I wait and get the Yellow-tailed? Also, would they be compatible with the tailspot in a 13.5 QT? Thank you!

I currently have two clowns, a bangai cardinal, and a royal gramma in my tank. If you have any suggestions on different fish I should get with my current stock other than the damsel that would be great!

I personally would get the Azure over the yellow tail even if they had both available. I have always had good luck with those.

I think either would be fine. I have a yellow tail in with my tailspot with no problems.

I love my Azure - very well mannered for a damselfish. Highly recommend!

My suggestion would be to get a few more bangai cardinals as they are schooling fish/ need to be in groups

But I would say azures over the yellow tail

The general opinion seems to be that Azures are better behaved than Yellowtails.

NO to damsels unless its the Springer.

In a 13.5 gallon tank, the damsel will be the devil incarnate, only being betten to a 6line wrasse in how fast you want to make fish sashimi out of it.

Do you absolutely want a damsel?
And if you do, make sure its the LAST fish you add.
