some pics of my fishies

[pandafishowner]

I don't take many good fishie pics, but I got a new clown yesterday. Our saddleback died a few months back. So this new guy is already growing on me.

Also got some good shots of our pajama cardinal.

Looks like a Chrysyptera taupou to me...fiji lue devil damsel...i believe is one of it's more common names, make that Chrysiptera cyanea the other is a south sea devil damsel i believe. I think it's female to...if i'm not mistaken the males have colored tails...

Might be way off though. :) blue damsel fish confuse me everytime. but i'm sure its one of them :)

[pandafishowner]

thanks :) Not sure what kind of damsel it is other than blue. It never had a problem with our saddleback clown and it left the pajama cardinal alone for months but it decided to pick on my new clown. So after a few days of banishment we'll bring it back and try it in our tank again. I named the damsel Mr.Grumpy, so if it's female I guess I ought to change that to Mrs.Grumpy. :lol:

still not the best pic, but here's a clearer one of just the damsel

based on the two blue damsel pics I found on liveaquaria.com I'm leaning more towards the blue Devil instead of the fiji one. The Blue devil says females are all blue, males have an orange tail. Since my damsel is 100% blue, I'd say that "he" is in fact a "she" and thusly she'll now be Mrs.Grumpy :lol: I sure do love this damsel though, even if they are a dime a dozen. I'll figure out a way somehow of getting her to be nicer to my clown.

dam damsels.
i suppose the call them devil fish for a reason.

Im definetly steering clear of them in my reef.

I HAD 4 damsels in my tank at once, and they never caused problems with one another, and two of them were even the same kind.. Since u got a female, you should try to get a mail and see if ya can breed them :lol:

Agreed i've never had much of a problem with damsels. save for one...more problems with sixline wrasse than i ever had with a damsel. certain fish just shouldn't be kept with others. but a damsel tank makes for a very lively and entertaining tank.

That it does

[fishoholic]

90% of damsels are evil :twised: Most of the ones I've seen had to be removed from the main tank because of the damage they did to their tank mates.

[pandafishowner]

the damsel disappeared. from adidas's sump. we think it might have gone into the pump. :sad:

had to add this pic

our little clown near his cave (as always) and if you look carefully, you can see our decorator crabs legs on the right side of the cave
