Springeri Damsel

[Redbird5]

I'm just pursuing Dr. Quarantine Fish this morning and I came across a Springeri Damsel. I know damsels are little devils with fins, but I'm considering starting a coral farm to grow out some coral frags to trade eventually. Are these damsels divas or can they get along with other fish?

Mine is a perfect citizen. I got it for red planaria.

Perfect citizen in my tank as well. Beautiful fish.

Not a single problem with mine except for kinda shy. My yellow tail was more active and a model citizen as well.

Springeri's are known to be fairly docile compared to other Damsels. Them and Kupangs are about the same but for whatever reason the yellow-tails can be a bit meaner in my experience despite being a Chrysiptera damsel.

Generally all Chrysiptera damsels can be considered nicer than something like a Domino Damsel or Blue Devil Damsel.

When I started getting interested in this hobby 20+ years ago damsels were in all the petstores. It was recommended to cycle the tank with them. Now they're not in stores or recommended to cycle tanks.
