I have a 100 gallon tank with several small tangs, a rabbitfish, a pair of leopard wrasses, two clowns, a canary blenny, and a pearly jawfish. there is a ton of live rock and places to hide. My tank has been stable with these fish for about 3 months now and I am thinking about introducing a second wave of smaller fish that will interact with the rockwork. Damsels are cheap and colorful and I am toying with including a pair of yellowtail damsels to my order from live aquaria.
I know damsels can quickly become monsters and are impossible to remove from a tank so I am apprehensive about adding these fish. Will damselfish still be a problem in a tank my size with a large number of larger fish and a large number of smaller fish added at the same time? and if I add more fish later will damsels still single them out and bully them? or will they be subdued and distracted by the constant traffic of other fish swimming around their area?
