Talbots Damsel, what a fish! | Reef2Reef Recently acquired two Talbot's damselfish The LFS wasn't quite sure which species they were but between one savvy employee and myself we made a positive i d What a delightful fish They have staked out a territory in the corner of the tank and don't seem to bother any tankmates They
Keeping different kinds of damsel together? | Reef2Reef Several people here keep multiple damsels together in the chrysiptera family which is typically more peaceful Starcki's are a bit larger Allens, Talbots, Tracy's, Azures, are all good choices I tend to keep them in groups of 3 or 5 but understand you have a smaller area to work with It can be done and they add a splash of color and speed
Talbot damsel questions. | Reef2Reef I had 2 talbots for about 3 years , when they are young they are not very territorial , even when they try the wrasses I had would put them in their space as they got older they staked out opposite ends of the tank ( I am thinking they were both the same sex) The only problem is if there is a sick or disoriented fish going to their area I think they are one of the better damsels in my new
Damsel eating flatworms ?? | Reef2Reef Not sure of the names but I have a blue yellow tail damsel , blue yellow belly damsel, and three talbots I still had to blow the pumpkin flatworms off of my orange mushrooms

Can you mix damsel species? | Reef2Reef You can mix damsels, but a few you listed are monsters The Azure, yellow tail, and Springer's are all good Stay in that genus (Chrysiptera) You don't want anything in the Dascyllus genus (domino, white tail, 3 4 stripe), and you don't want any Neoglypidodon (Cross's) either
Good group fish | Reef2Reef Chromis can still be your first choice just look beyond the 'standard' green, there are a multitude of others -Vandervelts (if you are planning a 'quiet tank), Retrofaciatus, Agillis will give you a good starting point for research, there are loads of them waiting to be discovered Fusilier damsels (Lepidozygus tapeinosoma) are excellent, peaceful group fish (if you can find them) and cheap

Damsel compatibility | Reef2Reef Out of that list 1 starck would be swell Talbots would also be nice Azures would also work I think with Damsels you just need to have a system setup with plenty of space for them to retreat, sleep, and corals rock to break the chase that will start They are very active Add speed, color, movement, and more
Azure damselfish | Reef2Reef The pictures above are talbots, not azures Confused? I have always found azures to be chickens Sure they will chase off, but swim away first I have 6 currently and most live around each other, but do not swim next to each other Near, but not too close Now my cardinals I have had always picked each other down Threadfins began with 10, after a year had three Those stayed with me almost 9
