Product Description

The Damselfish, also known as the Half-blue Damselfish, is a two-tone,
darting marine fish. The front portion of the body is bright blue. The
posterior portion, anal fin, and tail are yellow. There is a species
variation in the amount of yellow on the body of the fish. (Some call C. parasema the Azure Damselfish, however, in the aquarium trade, the Azure Damselfish is considered to be this fish, C. hemicyanea.)A 30 gallon aquarium or larger with plenty of rockwork and décor is
ideal. Because it can tolerate substandard water parameters, it is a
popular fish among beginning hobbyists. A small group of juvenile Azure
Damsels will add color and drama to most marine aquariums. Maintain this
species with other semi-aggressive fish, as they can become territorial
as they mature. In larger reef aquariums, this is normally not a
problem if plenty of hiding places are provided.The Azure Damselfish diet should consist of quality flake foods, frozen
meaty foods such as brine or mysis shrimp and occasionally dried seaweed
offered on a feeding clip.
