About this fish
About this fish
The Two Stripe Damsel is a saltwater damselfish sold for the home aquarium, identified as Dascyllus reticulatus. This species is popular because it’s typically hardy, active, and brings bright character to a reef-style display. Its practical use is as a lively, hardy fish that can be paired with many common tank setups, especially when you provide enough rock for it to claim and establish a territory.
Features:
- Typically a hardy, active damselfish that many aquarists choose for starting or lively reef-style tanks
- Often selected for its colorful, engaging behavior in the aquarium
- May become territorial as it matures, so tankmates should be planned carefully
- Provide plenty of live rock so it has places to claim and reduce stress
- Generally considered reef safe with corals when kept in a compatible community
- Feed small frozen foods and quality flakes or pellets once or twice a day
- Acclimate slowly when the Two Stripe Damsel arrives and allow time to settle in a quieter area of the tank
