This is not what I have.you sure that's a fiji blue devil? looks like a springeri to me
Thanks for the tag @Katrina71 !!
sooo...what should I do damsel experts? I have a Fiji Blue Devil that has been in my 28g tank since the beginning (last week in February this year). Went in the tank with one female clown, I later added another clown, a 6 line, and a lawnmower blenny. Everyone got along just fine up. That lasted until a couple weeks ago when my 6 line killed my blenny. Yesterday, my damsel looked like she had been in a car wreck overnight. Not sure if it was the 6 line or my female clown, but she is looking rough. Was this just a dominance thing that she lost? Would adding a second damsel help or hurt the situation, or am I just completely screwed and should remove her entirely?
Agreed. Making educated choices makes all the difference whether it’s damsels or any other fish, inverts, etc.This is a great example of what haydn wrote. Misidentification and the confusion caused by common names and uninformed retailers (and wholesalers)
The fish pictured isn't C.tapou, "blue devil". It looks like C. springeri. Confusing the matter even more the retailer shows a fish that is called C. Springeri frequently but probably is not.
This is why some think one species or another is satan but others think they are angels. They are frequently talking about two different fish.
I'm out of this thread now, Ive done what I can to spread the truth about a misunderstood group of fish. To damsel or not to damsel is up to each individual aquarist.
Seriously overlooked IMO
Super peaceful, splash of bold contrast of snow white & black stripes
I’ve had green, blue, and barrier reef chromis. All peaceful. Blue and green both died off after a few months. The barrier reef chromis lived for a couple years before I traded it.
Obviously, some have positive experiences, but stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.
Do you really want this every time you try to clean the tank? LOL
Not when it comes to damsels lolThat is a very dangerous statement...…….. And has historically been untrue.
