Ok so I was at Petco and I happened by the salt section. someone wanted to buy two velvet damsels. The lady told him they would kill each other and pointed out there was only one per tank.
I thought that for damsels you put a school together to keep aggression down. is this true or what?
 
it usually has to be larger schools of damsels
 
it is kind of like mbuna cichlids, if you only have a couple they will be aggro, if you have them in a larger school it disperses aggression, then again it all depends on the particular fishs personallity
 
it depends on the size of the tank... and it all comes down to luck, it is one of the types of fish that it doesnt hurt the wallet so much if you try a community of them and they dont work out. so i say go for it as long as you have a larger than 55 gallon tank
