About this fish
About this fish
Springeri Damsel – Chrysiptera springeri is a saltwater damsel fish designed for life in a marine aquarium. As a practical addition, it can help bring active, algae-and-scrapey-feeding behavior to a reef-style setup, while also serving as a lively schooling/territorial presence around rockwork. In most home aquariums, damsels are best used thoughtfully because many can be assertive once settled, especially toward similar-bodied tankmates.
Features:
- Damsel temperament can be territorial, particularly after it establishes a home in the rockwork
- Active swimmer that typically uses open water areas while also picking at food and scavenge-style opportunities near the rocks
- Generally hardy in established marine systems when it is fed regularly and acclimated properly
- Omnivorous diet—responds well to a mix of meaty foods and quality prepared foods appropriate for marine fish
- Often a better choice for tanks with sturdy rockscapes and adequate hiding/escape options for other fish
