Assorted 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.

We sometimes receive damselfish which may not be identifiable down to the species level- color may vary, but is commonly pink to brown. Size and aggressiveness may vary.
