Other rock- dweller choices can be made as much on color as on species. Blennies and jawfish are incompatible in the same aquarium and may create some pro- blems, so you may want to consider one of the other rock dweller species if you intend to keep Damsel fish are the one group of fishes that will live, grow, and spawn in nearly anyone's tank. They are very hardy, almost indestructible and do well in any system. If there is a drawback, it is that they are aggressive and extremely territorial. You must remember to leave room for them. If you plan to introduce damsels, remember that each fish requires considerable bottom and rock area as a part of its habitat. Plan for it. Some of the least aggressive damsels are the saffron (Eupomacentrus planifrons), honey gregory (E. mellis), the salt and pepper (E. partitus), and blue and green reefs (Chromis sp.). If you add damsels, be certain they are the smallest fish in the tank. You needn't worry about their size. Damsels are very competent at taking care of themselves even with fish ten times their size. 17.
