Blue Velvet Damsel (Asia Pacific)

Damsels are active, coral -safe fish, often with bright colors, especially when juvenile. They are typically safe with invertebrates; however, some large species may attack small shrimp. They are known to be aggressive towards other fish, especially fish added to the aquarium after they are established; they may chase and bite the other fish. We recommend an aquarium of at least 30 gallons for damsels which grow to 3 Inches, and at least 50 for larger species. They are typically easy to feed on a variety of frozen or dried meaty and vegetable foods.

Damselfish are extremely hardy and able to survive a wide array of aquarium conditions. They are related to chromis and clownfish.

Has a unique electric blue pattern across its black body, also known as the blue laser and blue streak damsel. These blue patterns may fade with age. It eats any sort of prepared food, and may also pick at algae in the aquarium. This beautiful fish grows a bit larger than most other damselfish and can hold its own against other large, aggressive fish. Grows up to 6 Inches.
