Description
The Goldbelly Damsel is a vibrant and hardy addition to saltwater aquariums, featuring a striking blue upper body that transitions to a bright yellow on its belly and fins. Known for its bold colors and active personality, this damsel can add a pop of color to a reef or fish-only setup.
While the Goldbelly Damsel is generally easy to care for, it can be semi-aggressive, especially in smaller tanks or when housed with other damsels. Providing ample hiding spots and maintaining a well-structured aquascape can help reduce territorial behavior. This species is reef-safe, making it an excellent choice for reef aquariums with corals and invertebrates.
As an omnivore, the Goldbelly Damsel enjoys a varied diet, including marine flakes, pellets, and frozen foods such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. With its stunning coloration and adaptability, the Goldbelly Damsel is an appealing choice for beginner and experienced aquarists alike.
