Description

The Golden Domino Damselfish, scientifically known as Dascyllus auripinnis, is a striking species characterized by its dark black body contrasted by vibrant yellow fins and a distinctive yellow belly. Native to the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific, these fish are popular among aquarists for their hardiness and vibrant coloration.

Golden Domino Damselfish are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of foods in their natural habitat, including algae, zooplankton, and detritus. In captivity, they thrive on a balanced diet consisting of high-quality flakes, pellets, and frozen or live foods to ensure optimal health.

While they are generally easy to care for, these damselfish can exhibit semi-aggressive behavior, especially towards similar-sized fish or newcomers in the tank. It’s advisable to provide plenty of hiding spots and establish a well-planned aquarium environment to minimize territorial disputes.

Golden Domino Damselfish can adapt well to reef aquariums and coexist with a variety of reef-safe species, making them a favorite choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
