Description
The Domino Damsel (often confused with other damsels due to similar names) is a striking fish known for its solid yellow body that stands out in any aquarium. This species is hardy, making it a popular choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
Despite its small size, the Domino Damsel can become quite territorial and aggressive, especially as it matures. It is best suited for aquariums with other semi-aggressive species or fish that can hold their own. This damsel is a great addition to reef aquariums, as it is considered reef-safe and will not harm corals or invertebrates.
Being an omnivore, the Domino Damsel accepts a wide variety of foods, including flake, frozen, and live foods. A balanced diet of marine-based algae and meaty items will help maintain its vibrant coloration and overall health.
Although this species can become quite aggressive, it adds an energetic and lively dynamic to any tank, especially in larger setups where it can claim a defined territory. Its brilliant yellow coloration adds a bright and eye-catching presence to the reef environment.
