refugium & fish question (Free Fish to good home)

[trodder]

I recently inherited 6 or 7 fish... mostly damsels. I know there are 2 3 stripe or 4 stripe not sure which (they are swimming around in a bucket with a power head and a heater,) a yellow tail damsel, a yellow damsel, 3 other larger loking damsels (not sure if that is what they are due to colors I don't recall seeing on a damsel, as well as a tomatoe clown (maybe a cinnamon... need to get a closer look.) First question is... are any of these safe to house in my refugium without them destroying my pod population or any macro algae? I thought about keeping 1 or 2 of the fish in the fuge if it is safe. The rest are free to a good home if anyone wants them. I would like to try and keep the clown as well as the yellow tail or a striped damsel... if the damsels are okay and the clown is not, then I plan to keep one of the striped damsels and the yellow tail. Please reply with feedback for this situation as well as if you are interested in any of these fish. It seems these guys all play nice together believe it or not, so if anyone is interested in all of them, that is fine as well.

Thanks-

Thomas

^^ BUMP ^^^ any takers?? I think I am going to only keep the Yellow tail damsel... all the rest are for the taking... I can even deliver to a reasonable distance.

The only one that caught my attention is the yellow tail, but sounds like you wish to keep that one (they are very nice fish). I wish I had a home for the rest ( really like damsels) but I do not.

Regarding whether they are safe in your refugium....if you put any of these in the refugium, it will not be a refugium anymore, just another aquarium with fish that happens to be plumbed to the rest of your system. I don't think any of these fish will hurt the macroalgae though.
