I wouldn't recommend the damsels, because most of them are little terrors:devil: that like to pick on the other fish. Just my 2 cents though

yeah sadly so many people are suckered into buying damsels to help cycle a tank. To me thats a waste of money when you can pay 12 cents for a feeder fish to cycle the tank. Also like espo92 said Damsels are mean. They might be all cute and cudly when young, but when they get old its like an old pissed off man with hemroids wanting to kick your ***.

A lot will also depend on the type of setup. Reef with corals? Live rock? Amount of open space vs caves?

And don't forget that clowns are damsels as well and can be super mean.
