Kupang Damsel

The Kupang Damsel, *Chrysiptera kuiteri*, is a vibrant and hardy addition to the marine aquarium, known for its striking blue coloration. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, this small damselfish brings a splash of color and activity to the reef tank. Its relatively small size and peaceful nature make it a suitable choice for a variety of aquarium setups.

A minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended for the Kupang Damsel. While generally peaceful, they can become territorial, especially as they mature or if housed with other damselfish. Providing ample live rock and hiding places will help mitigate potential aggression and allow them to establish their own territory. They are well-suited for beginner aquarists due to their resilience and adaptability.

In the aquarium, the Kupang Damsel will readily accept a varied diet of high-quality marine flake food, pellet food, frozen mysis shrimp, and enriched brine shrimp. A diverse diet will help maintain their vibrant blue hues and overall health. They typically reach a maximum size of around 2 inches in captivity. They are not known to host anemones.
