Description
The Orangetail Damsel is a brightly colored saltwater fish known for its vibrant orange tail and blue body. It is a popular choice in the aquarium hobby due to its hardy nature and small size.
Reef Safe
Yes, the Orangetail Damsel is considered reef safe but can be a threat to smaller, more timid fish.
Environment
The Orangetail Damsel prefers a well-decorated aquarium with plenty of hiding places. It appreciates a moderate to strong water flow and will thrive in a tank with a stable temperature and salinity.
Behavior
This species is known to be territorial and can be aggressive towards other fish, especially those of the same species. It is best to keep one Orangetail Damsel per tank unless the tank is large enough to accommodate multiple territories.

Bullies other fish and bites when doing maintenance

This fish is always swimming around and I haven’t had any issues with it being aggressive. It is in a 125 gallon so idk if that’s what helps with its temperament but it has been a model citizen fish.

They can pick on smaller tank mates, but usually it’s not an extended problem. They have really great color and look beautiful under all types of lights

One of the less aggressive damselfish I’ve owned, still have a vendetta against these fish
