Yellowtail Black Damsel
Yellowtail Black Damsel, Chrysiptera sp., is an uncommon variation of the Yellowtail Blue Damsel. As a member of the Chrysiptera genus, it is a great schooling damsel that does not grow to large sizes. At a maximum of 2.5 inches, this fish makes a great choice as fish used to cycle an aquarium, and is also a fish that is worthy of keeping afterward. It is an omnivore that thrives with a variety of prepared and frozen foods. Because it is a high energy fish, multiple-daily feedings will help to ensure best health. It will enjoy a great deal of Live Rock and coral, from which it will emerge and dart about. Damsels are hardy and are reef safe. They will school and swim actively at all levels of the aquarium. The Yellowtail Black will frequently school with the Yellowtail Blue, creating a very distinctive grouping. It is generally peaceful, but may be somewhat territorial and aggressive as an adult. As with most Damsels, the Yellowtail Black Damsel is a great fish for aquarists of all experience levels.
Approximate Arrival Size: .75" to 2"
