    the blue damsel is going to be a pain in the neck when you start to get other fish.. I would try to trap him and get credit at the LFS for other "nicer" fish.

    Not in my experience, I know fish vary in character even within same species , but aside from initial showing out, YTBS adapt quickly
    and only bother with new fish when new fish encroaches on established territory

    now Dominos, and humbugs are different, and those damsel species can hound new additions chasing them around all areas of the tank

    As I say , its varies from individual fish to fish

    a single rock head suffices in some cases as territory for the YTBS I have had and its that single rock , where they hide and rest up for the night etc, that they protect the most - IME

    subsequent additions have been investigated, displayed in front of but not bullied and not chased

    But Ill say it once more - other peoples experiences may be different to mine
