Clowns and yellow tail damsels

[barterking85]

I have 7 damsels in my tank. They are kept in check by my tangs though. I have one blue green, three yellow tails and 3 neon blue. Oh and two clowns. My clowns are more aggressive than the damsels.

Hmmm you had to make me think lol what do you think I have no tangs to keep them in check mind you

I had a yellow tail kill 2 emerald crabs, 2 shrimp, and nearly killed a clown all in one night. A pair of clowns with some attitude could keep it from picking on the clowns but everything else is shark bait. They really are indiscriminate killers many times. And for me its not worth the risk. They are famously aggressive and territorial. Would not add them unless they are with predominately aggressive fish to keep them in check. Just my opinion, yes you can get lucky but i myself wouldnt risk it. My be fine at first but the older they get the meaner they get
