My wife is entertaining the idea of starting up a fish only marine tank . Although there are a lot more exotic marine fish, she has taken a strong liking to damsels (notably the blue and the dominos).
If stocked with just damsels, how many would work successfully in a 36"L x 12"W x 24"H tank? The LFS suggested 20+. Would it be better to go with a single damsel species or would several work together? Is there a species that is recommended over any of the others? Would an all-damsel tank be successful? Or is the tank too small? Would it be better to steer away from an all damsel tank?
I understand they have aggressive temperments, but just how aggressive? (I'm familiar with african cichlid aggression, are damsels like m. auratus or less/more aggressive?).
