damsels

I'm currently working on setting up a 53 gal tank. Right now I have a 30g tank. I have 1 yellowtail damsel and he is by far the least aggressive fish I have, he actually gets chased by my dominant false perc. My question is, in peoples experience what are the least aggressive damsels? I would like to add another one (or 2) to my 53gal once it's up and running.

Thanks

I'd stick with another yellow tail; my zebra is a jerk.

You could go with an Azure. They look very similar except their underbelly is yellow while the rest is a very vibrant blue, much like the yellow tails. They are very docile.

chromis are very docile and wont hurt anything you could keep a small school of them.

Be careful with chromis. Some are very nasty.

And if you get damsels... keep them in ODD numbers. Also right now your yellowtail isnt aggresive, but give it a month or two and it will be REAL NASTY. My lionfish gulped them up, but before that... they would constantly attack my clowns and any other fish.
