    Right now I have 10 damsels in my 60 gallon tank. They seem to be getting along fine but since they are quite aggressive I was wondering if it is alright if I put them with the other fish I am going to get?

    ooooooooo....that's asking for trouble IMO and they will probably start to pick each other off when they get older especially if they are not all the same type of damsel.

    I love the little buggers, but they are some mean s.o.b.'s

    yah i had 3-4 damsels in my 120g reef aquarium...they werent agessive at first but then when i would add new fish one by one they became more agressive towards the newer fish, took them out over time and thought one would be okay and wasnt the case and tore up my whole tank trying to get him out...i'd take them out.
