Blue Streak Damselfish

Neoglyphidodon Damselfish should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work should be provided for grazing. Neoglyphidodon Damselfish are very aggressive careful planning and consideration should be taken before adding fish to aquariums. They should be housed singly and only be housed with larger, intrusive and more aggressive tank mates. A diet of meaty and algae based foods which includes Spirulina should be provided several times daily. They may also pick at soft corals. May see juvenile and adult color differences.

Juveniles have a blue body, a white stripe running vertically in the middle of its body and metalli blue on its fins.
