4-Stripe Damselfish
|
The 4-Stripe Damsel has four vertical black bars across its white body and fins. They are aggressive and territorial fish and should only be kept with fish that can handle themselves. They are ideal for reef aquariums...

I once had an all damsel 55gal.
It was a cheap way of making a take with a lot of fish.
If you put them all in at once and give plenty of rock work to hide in then they will do fine.
Make sure not to shock your biological filter though by adding them in without preparing the tank.

Can be a bully!
| General |
This is a excellent first fish. However be aware that they are hard to catch if you have a good amount of live rock. They also can bully just about anything close to their size. They can be kept in groups but one will usually keep the others in check so kept several as opposed to two so that the aggression will be spread out. |

This is a easy fish to keep, will accept almost any food an excellent choice for a first fish.

This fish will bully anything else close to its size, this can be an even bigger problem when they get big!
