Default Your Opinions/Experiences with Damsels

If you know better than everyone else, then why not offer a suggestion for
Kevin?

How did you start your tank?
Have you ever added a fish to a tank? Because if you did, the tank did a
mini-cycle due to the increased ammonia introduced by the fish...or did you
prevent this from happening somehow?

Other fish are just as hardy for cycling so do not thinking you can only

use
damsels. Of all the damsels, this is the 2nd least aggressive of all (a
blue\green chromis is the least). The best way to sum it is what someone
once told me "they don't call them blue devils for nothing".

I have had yellow tails be very peaceful, and the last one I had was
extremely aggressive. Like all fish, they have a personality too and
unfortunately it takes about 2-3 days in your tank before they show it.

You may want to consider a royal gramma or fox face to cycle with. They

are
high color, won't be a problem with a reef, and you won't have to destroy
the tank trying to get the damsel out in a month


Please do not suggest on using any fish to cycle tank.
I understand people use damsel for cycling tank from the past. I am not
sure
how that get stuck but not to add another group of fish into this cycling
thing. Maybe the price that attribute to this role.
