Captive Care: This little but beautiful fish is one of the less aggressive members of the Damselfish family. They can be kept in small groups in a medium-sized tank as long as there are hiding places or in pairs in a smaller fish tank. This fish is a fantastic choice for both beginner and experienced fish keepers alike. This stunning fish will eat zooplankton and algae, yet will ignore invertebrates, so it’s a great addition to almost all reef tanks. Do not keep these fish with highly aggressive tankmates or other aggressive Damselfish.
