The Chrysiptera cyanea, better known as the Blue Damsel, is a strikingly colored marine fish loved by both novice and experienced aquarists. With its vibrant cobalt blue color and active behavior, this fish is a real eye-catcher in any marine aquarium.

This robust fish species originates from the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region and is known for its adaptability and strong character. The Blue Damsel is relatively small (usually up to about 7 cm), but compensates for this with an energetic and territorial nature, especially in smaller aquariums.

Features:

• Scientific name: Chrysiptera cyanea
• Common name: Blue Damsel
• Origin: Indo-Pacific
• Maximum size: approx. 7 cm
• Suitable for: Marine aquariums from ±100 liters
• Behavior: Active, sometimes territorial
• Diet: Omnivore (flake food, frozen, artemia)

Details:

This fish thrives in a well-equipped aquarium with plenty of hiding places among the live rock. While it gets along well with other fish, it can be dominant towards its own kind or smaller, calmer fish.

The Chrysiptera cyanea is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add color and character to their saltwater aquarium.
