Blue Devil Yellowfin Damselfish
(Chrysiptera flavipinnis)
Chrysiptera Damselfish should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work should be provided for grazing and hiding. Chrysiptera Damselfish may pick at small benthic crustaceans. Chrysiptera Damselfish are quite easy and hardy they make good beginner fish. Be sure to thoroughly research each species as some Chrysiptera Damselfish are known to be quite territorial and aggressive. They should be housed with large tank mates that are not easily harassed. A diet of meaty and algae-based foods which includes Spirulina should be provided. Males and females are difficult to differentiate however males tend to be slightly larger. The Yellow Fin Damselfish are also known as the Yellowfin Demoiselle. Not often seen in the aquarium trade. This uniquely colored fish has a blue center surrounded by yellow. They can grow to a little over 3".
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 30 gallons or larger for this species.
