Azure Damsels

[bonesnapper]

I have had Damsels before, I had Yellow Tail, and I was wondering, are the Azure Damsels aggressive?

all damels are aggressive to some extent

 

[bonesnapper]

Oh. but are these aggressive.

Yes,Chrysiptera parasema is an aggressive fish. Not as much as others in the genus, but still as or more aggressive than most Damsels in general.

I have 2 in my 75gal thay are not aggressive at all .
IMO like most damsels it is the tank mates that will tell if thay will be aggressive or not ie if you have week fish thay will be and if thay are on the low side of the pecking order thay will not.that being said IMO all damsels will and can be aggressive

What about the Blue Damsel. Are these less aggressive than the Azure?

 

[metweezer]

I believe I read that the yellowtail blue damsels are one of the least aggressive

 

[bonesnapper]

Well, I have had that told to me also. But I don't believe it at all.

I had two in a 55. They claimed EVERYTHING in the tank, including the filter the skimmer, anything they could. They terrorized every other fish as soon as they went in. Needless to say they did not stay in that tank long.

Just so you know they are the same fish.
