Damselfish

Damselfish are generally considered fish saltwater aquarium more resistant. Diverse, playful and beautiful, the girls are cute.

Some of the best fish for beginners in marine aquarium belong to the ladies. Several types are bright, active and extremely robust. They are found in coral reefs in the world, sometimes in large schools, where they feed on algae, plankton and small invertebrates.

Most girls grow only 2 inches or more, but some species, like the girl Garibaldi can reach over a foot long! Maids are very tolerant of all types of water conditions and therefore, they are commonly used to cycle an aquarium.

Their tank should be decorated with lots of rocks and caves to hide in. Demoiselles eagerly devour all kinds of food and they should be offered a varied diet of meat dishes and vegetables to both products.

Although generally not bother other fish, most young ladies are extremely combative toward their own kind and should be housed individually (unless you have a large tank where each fish may establish its own territory).

Maids have been successfully bred in captivity, but it is not easy. After spawning, the male is generally supported and protect the eggs. After one week, the eggs hatch and the fry should be removed from their own tank. They need clean water and a very special diet of rotifers until they are old enough to be fed baby brine shrimp.
