UGH Damsels

So they've not even been in my tank 2 weeks but I can tell they aren't going to be staying there on a permanent basis. The 3 Blue damsels are harassing the two yellow tails (One has a mark on its side and a chunk out of its tail). I was hoping they had enough space and rock they'd all just play nice and I could then add the fish I wanted...guessing thats not the case. I "think" I will be able to catch them as they come right up to the top when I feed. Trying to decide if I can leave the yellow tails or if they will be a problem in the future too. Its a shame, they're fun fish to watch, but I certainly didn't spend all this money, time and effort to have only damsels, LOL. And I'm thinking the one yellow tail is getting picked on too much, and probably will be in trouble before too long, so I'm trying to decide if I should make a trip to return the blue ones sooner rather than later. But don't know what pulling them out will do as far as whatever type of cycle my tank is in. (Ammonia/Nitrites 0, Nitrates 10-20) Oh how I wish I'd have just stuck with my plan of the chromis to begin with and not listened to the fish store on the damsels, they said Chromis wouldn't survive the cycling, but I don't think my levels did enough to have been a problem...
So in summary everything I've read is right, Damsels=Bad; even if they are pretty!
Should I pull them out now and get chromis, or clowns, or leave them and wait awhile longer? (Oh and I also have small kids who have named the little darlings even though I cautioned them they probably wouldn't be our permanent fish...)
I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend, and are enjoying watching your tanks since the weather lately is just horrid!
Thanks again, Pam Speck
Oh and in case it matters regarding whether I should keep the Yellow Tailed Damsels my current plan for fish long term is
2 clowns (1 B/W 1 Regular Ocellaris) - I'd have 2 of each if they would get a long long term...
1 Royal Gramma (depends on what I do re: the damsels)
1 blue tang
1 yellow tang
and someday (ie when my tank is truly mature, etc) hopefully a Flame Angel

 

I thought since they were both Ocellaris Clowns that if introduced at the same time they would work? I could definitely be wrong though as I'm only going by what I've researched online, and have no real knowledge. Anyone else know, or has anyone kept the two together by chance? If not I guess we'll stick to the regular ones, have to have a "Nemo" with 4 year old twin girls! And yes I'm probably your worst nightmare wanting to have a fish from the movie, but in my defense I'm am trying to research and do things right, but I must confess that Nemo and Dory will be residents of our tank!

Thanks all! My tank is a 90, the LFS will take them back, so they'll definitely be going back. They sold them to me to cycle with and said to bring them back, so thats not an issue. I've been having the net in the tank while I feed, they swim all around it so hoping that catching them won't be too hard!

Caught all 3 blue damsels today and returned them to LFS. No problem netting them while feeding so that was good. I did feel bad about taking them back, they're pretty fish, but I didn't want to be risking any new fish I get. I left the two yellow tails for now (both of whom got netted while I was trying to get the others), if they behave they can stay...for now I'm sure they're glad to not get chased mercilessly from the blues, LOL!

I was travelling to Chicago today for business and stopped at Corralville Bay fish store, seems like a nice store.
