Sounds fine to me, but damsels can be territorial and aggressive. I would watch it with the clown, or replace it with a pair of clowns.

It's going to have to be either the damsel or an ocellaris clownfish.

I know damsels an be aggresive but apparently i cant have two of them an have to get somthing else hes really sweet my little
Damsel
But i want a friend for him feel cruel with him being on his own any suggestions on what fish i should get ?

 

[Lobstercrazy]

I have kept large damsels and fish just make sure the fish are a little larger and wont eat it. Also helps if they swim a lot so they can avoid each other.

No he will always be a little meanie! Take him back and get a lovely peaceful fish to go with the clown, a firefish or other small goby

Damsels are the hardest fish to catch, try the bottle trap or put food in the net an wait for him to swim in. Or coral him with two nets

 

[Miss cruz]
