Description
The Yellow Lemon Damsel is a vibrant, easy-to-care-for fish that adds a pop of bright yellow to any aquarium. With its small size and hardiness, this species is popular among both beginner and experienced aquarists. Though often peaceful, the Yellow Lemon Damsel can display semi-aggressive behavior, especially toward other damsels and similarly sized fish, making it best suited for community tanks with compatible tank mates.
This hardy fish is well-suited for reef environments and is unlikely to harm corals or invertebrates, which makes it a favorable choice for reef aquariums. The Yellow Lemon Damsel is an omnivore, thriving on a diet that includes both meaty foods and marine algae. Providing a varied diet helps maintain its bright coloration and health.
Ideal for small to medium-sized tanks, the Yellow Lemon Damsel requires plenty of rockwork and hiding spots, which it will use for retreating when feeling threatened or resting.
