i guess i could leave the damsels in there but not buy anymore and get things that go well with them like tangs and some clowns and wait till they die which they mite during the cycling and then i can buy the other fish like firefish and things

You don't really want to get the shy things (firefish) after you're already stocked with more territorial things... you want to stock the passive things first, then slowly work up to the most aggressive/territorial.

here is the thing though...damsels will live long lives so don't expect them to just die on you anytime soon

you also have a misconception about clowns; they are pretty aggressive little guys, not to the point of most damsels, but still not the friendliest fish in the sea by any stretch of the imagination
