Peg, first of all, i always hear damsels are a bad start. and you've added too many fish atm it seems, idk what your time table is. From the research i've done. I cycled my tank for 3-4 weeks, check water params, was decent. Got a occl. clown. Was good, and got another to pair up 2 weeks later. Bring new fish slowly at a time(3-4 week intervals between new fish), lots of patience. Take your time deciding on what fish to get because it can become a waste of money if you get the wrong fish. GL
