Description
The Bowtie Damsel is a hardy and colorful fish, known for its striking color pattern of black, white, and yellow that resembles a bowtie marking, making it a standout addition to any saltwater tank. This small damsel fish is perfect for beginners due to its resilience and ease of care, though its semi-aggressive temperament means it may show territorial behavior, especially in smaller tanks.
Native to coral reefs, the Bowtie Damsel is a reef-safe species, making it a great choice for both reef and community tanks. As an omnivore, it thrives on a varied diet of high-quality marine flakes, pellets, and occasional meaty foods such as brine shrimp or mysis shrimp to support its vibrant coloration and health.
The Bowtie Damsel requires a minimum tank size of 20 gallons with plenty of live rock for hiding and exploring. Though small, it is an active swimmer and enjoys open space as well as nooks within the rockwork. Its hardiness and bold colors make it an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add personality and visual appeal to their setup.
