Hey, yesterday I got 2 occillaris clowns to put in my 29 gallon tank which I already have a yellow tailed blue damsel. Previously, I tried putting a second yellow tail in but he was extremely aggressive towards him and he was very stressed. I am prepared to give away my damsel if necessary but i'm not sure if I should or not. The clownfish have not really gone into the live rock but have just swam pretty high up in the tank, is this normal? Also, the clowns are eating and do not seem stressed and are still swimming around. -- The damsel is on guard of the rock though and I don't think will let the clowns inside of it but just around it. -- Also the clowns just stayed at the top when I first put them in, and the damsel was out of the tank for at least 4 hours. And the clowns never left the top. Do you think I should get rid of the damsel? It has lunged a couple times at the clowns but not very agressivly. - If it continues I will get rid of him for sure!-- but do you think it might stop with a bit of time? do you think the clowns are in any danger? Thanks alot!!!

i have the same fish plus other damsels, and they had the same issues at first, but over time they learned to not go by the damsels area and always are roaming around the top of my tank. My clowns seem to like my power head wave makers and are always playing in the waves. I have 3 yellow tails and 3 3 strip damsels and they chase each other all over the place but have not shown any fin damage nor has the clowns, so i am sure after awhile they will all learn each others places in the tank. good luck
