Are yellow damsels aggressive????

[Hectorg214]

I'm thinking about getting a yellow damsel or two but don't know if they are really aggressive?? I have a snowflake eel, a melanurus wrasse and a pretty big maroon clown fish. Had some blue damsels before and they would harass the clown fish so I had to get rid of them. Heard yellow damsels are less aggressive.

not sure about yellows, but if you want a non aggressive damsel, check out swallowtail/lyretail damsels.
I've got five in my tank and they don't bother any of their tank mates.

I don't know what kind of damsel you can add to a tank with a large maroon clown and snowflake eel that won't get eaten (by the eel) or killed (by a large maroon). You must have the world's most gentle maroon clown and tiny snowflake. NORMALLY any damsel suitable to house with those fish needs to be a full grown nasty sob like a full size domino. What size tank?

Well my maroon would get picked on when he was smaller and my snowflake eel is pretty big. I have a 72 gallon bowfront.

The yellows I had were territorial and semi aggressive

What yellow damsel are you referring to? If you are referring to the lemon damsel, Pomacentrus moluccensis, I have read that they can be a little boisterous, but they usually won't be too much for any fish to handle.

The yellow i had was horrible, i would recommend some green chromis. Had some pretty good luck with those

Yes, the lemon damsels. Looking for something that's not too aggressive and get along with my other fish.
