Having multiple fish of the same species? | Reef2Reef I also have 2 species of damsels made up of 5 stary damsels and a pair of Talbots damsels none of which bother any of my other fish Talbot's damsels are some of my favorite fish, although they have a reputation for being hard to ship
90 Gallon pros and cons | Reef2Reef I have a couple clown fish, Talbots damsel, and some inverts that will make the move into a new tank I like yellow tangs and emperor angelfish Mostly looking forward to more coral Look into a longknose hawk fish, one of my favorites will follow me around as I go by the tank Could also look into a coral beauty has great color
Anthias alternative | Reef2Reef I have kept 3 talbots and 3 azures together in my 40 breeder without issues but had plenty of rock work for their own homes and safe spot Damsels will not be open water swimmers though or at least mine are not They tend to stay near rocks, corals, lower part of the tank unless it is feeding time
