About this fish
About this fish
Four Stripe Damsel is a marine damselfish sold as Dascyllus melanurus for use in home saltwater aquariums. It’s a popular choice when you want an active, hardy fish that adds noticeable color and personality to the display. In practice, a damselfish like this is often used to establish a stable, lively focal point in a tank—especially where live rock is already available for it to explore and claim.
