Care Instructions: The Yellow Tail Damselfish is a hardy species, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced aquarists. To ensure their well-being, maintain stable water conditions with regular testing and perform weekly water changes of 10–15%. Provide ample hiding spots and rockwork to mimic their natural reef environment, as this species appreciates territories to establish. Feed a balanced diet 1–2 times daily, ensuring portions are consumed within a few minutes to avoid overfeeding and maintain water quality. Our minimum 6-week quarantine process, combined with our comprehensive medication regimen, ensures that our Yellow Tail Damselfish arrive free from stress or disease, ready to thrive in your aquarium.

Ideal Tank Mates: Yellow Tail Damselfish can coexist with a variety of marine species in a well-planned community tank. Suitable tank mates include:

• Peaceful species like Clownfish, Gobies, and Blennies
• Other semi-aggressive fish of similar size, such as certain Wrasses or Anthias
• Invertebrates like shrimp and crabs, though caution is advised as some damselfish may nip at small crustaceans Avoid housing with overly aggressive species (e.g., large Angels or Triggers) or slow-moving fish (e.g., Mandarins), as the Yellow Tail’s territorial nature may lead to conflicts. Introduce the damselfish last in community tanks to reduce territorial disputes.
