Description
The Lemon Damsel, also known as the Golden Damsel, is a small, vibrant marine fish with a striking bright yellow body. Its intense color makes it a popular choice for adding a pop of sunshine to saltwater aquariums. This species is semi-aggressive, which is common among damsels, but it can still coexist with other fish in larger tanks.
Lemon Damsels are hardy and adaptable, making them an ideal choice for beginner marine aquarists. They can thrive in a variety of water conditions and are reef-safe, meaning they are a good addition to coral tanks. While their semi-aggressive behavior may require careful selection of tank mates, they are generally manageable in community setups.
This species is omnivorous and accepts a wide range of foods, including flake, frozen, and live varieties. Their small size and hardiness make them suitable for smaller aquariums, though they will show territorial tendencies in smaller spaces.
The Lemon Damsel is a great starter fish for marine enthusiasts and adds a vibrant energy to any tank with its bold color and active swimming behavior.
