New Damsel...What Model??? lol

[coralAnn]

I brought home a new Damsel yesterday. He's beautiful...white body with bright yellow on top and neon blue bottom fins (? I don't know the appropriate term for the fins). Anyway, the guy at the pet store was...well...let's just say I know more about this hobby than he does, and I'm just 8 months into it!!! He couldn't tell me anything about this fishie!!! If someone can ID him, then I can google info about him. I sure would appreciate it!!!!

Try googling bowtie damsel and see if that is it. Or possibly post a pic so we can see it.

With HTML code or thru photobucket works best

+1 I have found photobucket to be really easy. Post to photobucket then copy the IMG code and paste in your post.

Just so you know, damsels have a reputation for being mean. Careful adding fish to his tank.

Agreed. I use damsels as food for my angler

Just letting you know I had the same fish but my Lfs called it a bluefin damsel and it was huge. A little over 4inches a mean. I had to donate him because he killed the other damsel an wouldn't let me put anything else in there.

This is a little guy and now that the other fish have adjusted to him, he's been very peaceful. I know what you mean though...they are aggressive fish with varying levels of aggressiveness. I've had one kill
2 of my fish...just by constant picking on them...awful. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one. I've got an electric blue damsel who thinks he's king and likes to pick on other fish...he's the one who killed my fish. He started out nipping at him so I had to "babysit" him and chase the other off. I did that for TWO HOURS!!! But it worked. Bluey is leaving him alone so far...all day.

Thanks for the info!!! I definitely appreciate that!!!

No problem ya I was a little sad to let him go because the colors were beautiful and he was my one of my starter fish, he roughed it out and helped my tank get going.
