Domino Damsel - Dascyllus trimaculatus

The domino damselfish is almost totally black with three white spots.

One spot is on each side of its middle back and one on top just before the dorsal fin.

Being that its coloration is very basic, it is quite a striking small fish.

Domino damsels are omnivores and will eat a varied dietTemperament: The domino damselfish is not overly aggressive as a juvenile but as an adult can (and usually does) become aggressive not only with others of its kind but also with smaller and mild mannered fish.

Do not put two domino damselfish in the same tank – they will probably fight.

It would also be wise to introduce the domino damselfish as one of the last fish into the tank as they can become territorial.

Recommended Minimum Tank Size: A tank of at least 30 gallons is recommended.

Food and Diet:

A hardy aquarium fish, accepting a wide variety of prepared foods; live brine shrimp, plankton, mysis shrimp, green algae.

Reef Compatible:

An excellent reef aquarium species because it will not bother invertebrates.
