Damsels get extremely aggressive so I would stay away from them on the smaller scale aquariums. I am new to HFB but not to saltwater, been doing salt over 12 years and I am in the process of setting up my 260g SPS dominated tank and clownfish breeding system, so I am more than happy to help with any questions
    Thank you, salt is extremly new to me and i really want to it right. And i do agreecwith ometh on the stereotype of fish but until you try it out you wont really know it.

    I would like an eel but they nned a bigger tank, so next time maybe.

    But not every eel and damsels are the same. It's like saying all the children of the world are dangerous criminals growing up. Golden dwarfs are the least aggressive of the fish eaters due to their small size they can't take down most fish except for small gobies and ect. Same with the damsels some are terrors some aren't. It's a 50/50 thing. Sorry if I'm coming off rude I'm just stating from what I've learned from experience.

    Get a hi fine goby with a red banded pistol shrimp. It's a nice combo and look great together.

    Just know such a small tank that 2 gobies will more then likely fight alot unless it's a proven pair.

    Personal preference about cuc is snails, shrimps, and only a few hermits and if algae is bad a mithax crab. Fish I would do either a basslets, clowns, gobies, firefish, small angel (Atlantic pygmy being the smallest I know of) maybe a golden dwarf moray and thats a big maybe, chromis, dotty backs, Toby puffer, and a wrasse. This is just a selection I would choose from.

    I would do maybe one goby and two small clown fishes.
    3 fishes will work out good.
