Sergeant Major Damsel (Indian Ocean)

Damsels are active, coral -safe fish, often with bright colors, especially when juvenile. They are typically safe with invertebrates; however, some large species may attack small shrimp. They are known to be aggressive towards other fish, especially fish added to the aquarium after they are established; they may chase and bite the other fish. We recommend an aquarium of at least 30 gallons for damsels which grow to 3 Inches, and at least 50 for larger species. They are typically easy to feed on a variety of frozen or dried meaty and vegetable foods.

Damselfish are extremely hardy and able to survive a wide array of aquarium conditions. They are related to chromis and clownfish.

A fairly large damselfish as an adult, it grows up to 9 Inches and can hold its own against other large, aggressive fish. Has a bright white body with a yellow dorsal area and vertical black stripes on the body.
