Aquarium Advice Activist
As a new guy here I have some thoughts about Damsels. I have (2) Four stripe damsels in a 35 with 2 spotted cardinals, a chromis and a lawnmower blenney. The damsels are active, chasing every one around and what not, I think everybody is fast enough to escape harm. I really enjoy them though, it makes for a lively tank.
As far as fish being territorial though, it has always been my belief that if you provide enough cover for everybody and do not over stock, you should be good.
I have heard that you can rearrange the tank when you put in a new guy, this can disrupt the defined territory, while every one adjusts.
As far as using them to cycle, it is just my opinion (remember, I am new to this hobby) but, I feel that if you take your time with it and do not add too many fish at once, you should have very minimal die off.
I just set this tank up in June and have only lost 2 chromis. I think sometimes people try to cycle too fast and they have a lot of die off.
But thats just me,
