Blue Damsel

The Blue Damsel, *Chrysiptera cyanea*, is a vibrant and hardy addition to any marine aquarium, particularly well-suited for beginner aquarists. Its striking electric blue coloration makes it a captivating focal point in the tank.

A minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended for the Blue Damsel. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, these fish are known for their resilience and adaptability to various aquarium conditions. While generally peaceful, they can become territorial, especially as they mature or if housed with smaller, more timid species. Providing ample live rock and hiding places will help mitigate potential aggression.

In the aquarium, the Blue Damsel is an omnivore and will readily accept a varied diet of high-quality marine flake food, pellet food, frozen mysis shrimp, and enriched brine shrimp. Offering a diverse diet will help maintain their vibrant colors and overall health. They typically reach a maximum size of around 3 inches in captivity.
