I was gonna say jewel damsel, but a damsel is a damsel.

Not sure what the white spots on the top are though

Some kind of damsel. I like it wish they had those at my lfs

Most damsel aren't so nice with others in the tank. What are your stocking plans for your tank?

I like avoiding these fishes- there should be a rule called Damsels are for cycling only- or it should be written somewhere in the fish...

I decided i loved that fish then everybody had to go and talk about how bad they are lol

 

[GoldfishNewbie]

its beautiful! I think you should get a separate tank for him, he's so pretty that it would be worth it lol

I have one and it's the boss of the tank. As they get older they loose most of the yellow on top and most the blue turns almost black.

 

[LordJay]

Yup, they grow and turn gray-black. Look like piranha.

I personally think no fish should be used for cycling..

But as the damsel gets bigger it will get more aggressive. If you really want to keep him try stocking your tank with everything you planned on, then taking out the damsel for a week or so, and putting him back in so he has no established territory.

If you really like the fish like I do just start another tank and have a one fish only tank. You wouldn't be the first that did that I have a nice 24 with a blue devil.
