damsel

My mochavinci clownfish has decided to be a bully to my pearly jawfish, so I’m looking for a new home for him. I also have a blue springeri damsel (not a blue devil damsel). If you’ve kept saltwater fish before and have an aquarium already up and running that would be a good home for these...

Ahh Chrysiptera; a group (genus) of fish that is both incredibly maligned, and also intensely beautiful, hardy and useful. There are few fish available to the home hobbyist that are as pretty, size appropriate, reef safe and known pest control (as most will consume the dreaded Red Planaria, a...

I have a six line and Blue Velvet Damsel who didn’t get along w the newest clown . They are in a 29 gallon and they get along great so it would be nice to have them go as a pair . Message me if you’re interested. Also have a bunch of mushrooms ….

This starcki damsel has been in QT for 3 weeks, with coppersafe at 2.34 ppm for the last 2 weeks. I had noticed the abdomen was looking a bit pale before but didn't think much of it, as it was eating perfectly fine. Suddenly, today it was feeling lethargic. Just came back home, it's lying on...

Ok, I understand that Domino Damsels host anemones, but I was curious and would like to know, have you ever seen another type of Damsel hosting nems? If so, what species was it?

I plan to breed Damselfish next, specifically Yellowtail Damselfish, but I clearly won't be getting a pair in my display tank. As far as I know, Damsels are hermaphrodites (I don't really remember the correct name, but they are all born female and some become male), so what space could you...

Finally the anemone is hosting the clown fish. Took a long time. This happened after we added 6 new damsel fish to the tank to help raise phosphate. My tank is too clean. I gave up a long time ago and went to look at the tank and I was shocked at what I saw. Attached a video. I am so...

Sad. I really liked this fish too. Good luck to my fish trap lol...

Noticed my damsel wasn’t swimming around. Found it like this (see picture). Still swims, sometimes upside down. Very lethargic/easy to catch. It is in a “newbie mistake” overcrowded tank, but it’s generally peaceful. I’ve qt’d the damsel and have dosed my tank with Reef Rally Pro. I’m...

I have a 20g with a talbot damsel who I think is maturing and turning out to be an butt (yes I know who woulda thunk). It’s starting to kind of target my bar goby when it’s swimming near his rocks. I was wondering if there’s a fish I could add to disperse the aggression perhaps like a royal...

Surprised to see this anemone taking to the anemone while my clowns prefer my Goni

Hello all. I was wondering how to introduce other fish to a tank with damsels. I understand they are incredibly territorial and will pick at other fish until the point of stress where said target fish can die. However, in my current 32 gallon Biocube I have two Mocha clowns who are both bonded...

Just added some BTA’s and literally 15min later my domino damsel is hosting it??

I have a 20 gallon long tank running for 1 year. It currently has 2 clowns and a yw goby. I have a HOB filter, protein skimmer, and oversized UV light. I would like to add some colorful and practical fish. Here are a few possible additions I came up with, which one do you all think will work...

I ordered this princess damsel off of saltwater fish and when it came yesterday, i thought i was a wound because it was just the top, and now after not even a full day of being in my display (I know, should’ve qt’d) the tail i white and looks like the fin is almost melting, and had white above...

So, I ordered a damsel from online retailer and received it at work around noon, they didn't package it well, the head pads were cold and most important water in bag was icy cold, fish was pale and not moving, i tried to move it, touch it, fish was 100% dead I assumed. Other inverts in bag were...

Looking to get all the fish gone first, that way I can break it down and sell off all the equipment later. IF you are interested in the whole setup that is fine also but here are the fish. All corals are gone except some anemones and kenya tree. I also have a bunch of Lowboy 50 gal frag systems...

Saw this on my damsel this morning… impossible to catch the fish so far ☹️. Can anyone tell me what type of pest it is and if it’s going to come off on its own?

#reefmedic The damsel isn't eating, and it's got this red blotch on the caudal fin. Spends some time swimming, then hides again. Before putting it in the QT yesterday, I ran it though Safety stop (formalin, and methylene blue in two diffirent baths). QT tank is newly cycled but two seachem...

Have you guys come across this kind of three stripe damsel? Cought this fish today and was wandering if this is a hybrid?

I didn't know I had these until recently. I just got back from a 3-week vacation and now I see these Isos in the early morning whilst the room is still dark, before they unlatch from the fish. (They only latch onto my sailfin tang and two tomato clownfish). They leave my group of 5 blue damsels...

So my wife and I dont agree on whos eggs these are. Regal damsel or maroon clown? These are the best pics I can get. The fish have cleared the bottom of substrate.
