Default Yellow Tail Damsels

How aggressive are these little guys? I am thinking of adding 6 in my 120G.

I've never heard anything good about a damsel! Eventually they pick eachother off and the remaining Damsel will to be a devil towards any new additions. Wouldn't ever add one, even in a 120G. Just my opinion though...

I totally disagree. I have 5 domino damsels, 5 green chromis, 3 Three stripe damsels, and two black and yellows in my tank and they don't cause any problems at all. They all get along, and have never bothered anything in my tank. Maybe I'm just lucky, but i highly doubt that.

I have a yellow tail, a yellow belly, a bi-color,a four stripe, and a blue devil in my 135.They all get along well.There is the odd dispute,but no blood shed.I love damsels.Pretty,tough,and cheap.
I have had some in the past that were real a-holes though. It is hit and miss.Just like everything else in the hobby.
I say if you like them,then get them.

I liked my domino's but they did not like my maroons.. im sure if they had a bigger tank to play in they would have all got along though.
