Finally the anemone is hosting the clown fish. Took a long time. This happened after we added 6 new damsel fish to the tank to help raise phosphate. My tank is too clean. I gave up a long time ago and went to look at the tank and I was shocked at what I saw. Attached a video. I am so...
Noticed my damsel wasn’t swimming around. Found it like this (see picture). Still swims, sometimes upside down. Very lethargic/easy to catch. It is in a “newbie mistake” overcrowded tank, but it’s generally peaceful.
I’ve qt’d the damsel and have dosed my tank with Reef Rally Pro.
I’m...
I have a 20g with a talbot damsel who I think is maturing and turning out to be an butt (yes I know who woulda thunk). It’s starting to kind of target my bar goby when it’s swimming near his rocks. I was wondering if there’s a fish I could add to disperse the aggression perhaps like a royal...
Hello all.
I was wondering how to introduce other fish to a tank with damsels. I understand they are incredibly territorial and will pick at other fish until the point of stress where said target fish can die. However, in my current 32 gallon Biocube I have two Mocha clowns who are both bonded...
I have a 20 gallon long tank running for 1 year. It currently has 2 clowns and a yw goby. I have a HOB filter, protein skimmer, and oversized UV light.
I would like to add some colorful and practical fish.
Here are a few possible additions I came up with, which one do you all think will work...
I ordered this princess damsel off of saltwater fish and when it came yesterday, i thought i was a wound because it was just the top, and now after not even a full day of being in my display (I know, should’ve qt’d) the tail i white and looks like the fin is almost melting, and had white above...
So, I ordered a damsel from online retailer and received it at work around noon, they didn't package it well, the head pads were cold and most important water in bag was icy cold, fish was pale and not moving, i tried to move it, touch it, fish was 100% dead I assumed. Other inverts in bag were...
Looking to get all the fish gone first, that way I can break it down and sell off all the equipment later. IF you are interested in the whole setup that is fine also but here are the fish. All corals are gone except some anemones and kenya tree. I also have a bunch of Lowboy 50 gal frag systems...
Saw this on my damsel this morning… impossible to catch the fish so far ☹️. Can anyone tell me what type of pest it is and if it’s going to come off on its own?

The damsel isn't eating, and it's got this red blotch on the caudal fin.
Spends some time swimming, then hides again.
Before putting it in the QT yesterday, I ran it though Safety stop (formalin, and methylene blue in two diffirent baths).
QT tank is newly cycled but two seachem...
I didn't know I had these until recently. I just got back from a 3-week vacation and now I see these Isos in the early morning whilst the room is still dark, before they unlatch from the fish. (They only latch onto my sailfin tang and two tomato clownfish). They leave my group of 5 blue damsels...
So my wife and I dont agree on whos eggs these are. Regal damsel or maroon clown? These are the best pics I can get. The fish have cleared the bottom of substrate.
Hey guys I want to get a school of lyretail anthias but people are saying they’re a handful. Should I consider a school of yellow tail or blue devil damsels instead or will that not work? Also why are the anthias a lot of work?

I have a handful of Regal Demoiselle’s in QT with a firefish. In the past week or two we’ve noticed that one of them seems to be consistently white on a band around the fish just before the tail. The rest of the fish color is a little less black too. He hides a little more than the other fish...
I’m getting out of salt and back into freshwater. I have some livestock for sale then I will put up some equipment. Local pickup only (I live in West Knoxville). I have the following for sale:
2.5-3” a yellow Tang- $200
4-damsel fish (three black and white and one yellowtail) all get along-...
Hey All! Super new to the hobby. Just “inherited” a 120 gal tank + fish from a friend who was moving. I’m looking for tips and advice as to how I can make the tank better.
It’s a 120 gallon tank running on a fluval FX4 filter, eheim jager thermostat heater, 2 AI prime lights and 2...
Hello Everyone,
I want to get a Blue Damselfish because of their beautiful blue color, and would like to know if in your experience from what you have kept/seen at your local stores, there was any types of blue damsels that had a brighter/more intense blue color than the rest.
From the...
Hi like in my title, my new green chromis are showing sign of what I have gathered is uronema. I'm currently treating the tank with Rally/Kick Ick "kick ick as I'm also quarantining/pre treating these fish". I also just started treating with Maracyn Oxy to help with the open sores, and added...
