I cycle with ONE yellow tailed blue damsel so if you want to add a fish, that's the only one that I would put in right now. No other damsel will do because the others tend to be alot more aggressive than the yellow tail and may attack any new fish you add down the road. Other fish like clowns and chromis are not hardy enough to cycle with and inverts like snails and crabs are far more sensitive to ammonia/nitrite/nitrate than fish are and most likely won't live through the initial cycle. If you do decide to add a damsel, make sure that you only add one. Once your initial cycle is complete, you can start considering adding another fish.
