Blue 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.
A bright, active fish, it stays a bit smaller than most damsels at only 2 Inches. Females are completely blue with a black spot near the dorsal fin, while males develop an orange tail. Also known as blue devil damsel.
