it should be similar to clowns, stick a bunch together and watch them pair off.

My experiance with pairing, One dominates the other, keeping one smaller. I had 2 for two years some time ago, and when the dominate one laid her eggs, she killed the other one.

I had a yellow tail that was a very nice fish, never caused any problems, but I have heard reports of them going crazy and attacking others,... I think it's hit or miss.

Mellow
We have one yellow tail damsel and he is totally mellow. He was the first in the tank and based on what we had read we thought we might have to remove him when we added new fish, but he is totally laid back. We got lucky, I guess.

the yellowtail damsels are the least aggressive, but i dont know if i would add another one...they will probably fight it not introduced at/near the same time

Depends on the size of your tank. I've had one FOR EVER. It doesn't bother anything in the tank. To add anything, I have to wait till the lights or out. That part is hit or miss.
