Acerca de
The Fiji damsel (Chrysiptera taupou), commonly called the blue damselfish or South Seas devil, is a small damselfish native to the western Pacific Ocean from the Coral Sea to Samoa. Its jewel-like cobalt blue body with a yellow belly and anal region creates a vivid contrast that has made it a longstanding favorite in the marine aquarium trade. Exceptionally hardy and tolerant of water parameter swings, it is among the most beginner-accessible saltwater fish. While a 30-litre aquarium is technically sufficient, strong territorial behavior — common to all damsels — can lead to aggression toward tankmates, especially smaller fish. Introducing it last, or in a group, helps reduce conflict.
