Damsels

Lol I Know They Are, I Have A African Cichlad Tank And They Are The Same. But They Are Also Very Hardy And I Kinda Like The Non Passive Fish A Little Better { Plus They Are Cheap }

Damsels are very aggressive and you're going to have a hard time mixing different ones together as the more aggressive ones will probably kill the others. So you're most likely have to go with one type of Damsel, specially in such a small tank.

Also putting a number of damsels in the same tank will have an impact on what other fish you can add as they will most likely attack the other fish, specially as they get larger, and they do get larger. The Chromis are probably the less aggressive as are the Yellow tail Damsels. Even then they will fight among themselves.
