The Captive-Bred Azure Damselfish, also called The Half-blue Damselfish, is a two-tone, darting fish. The body's front part is bright blue. The posterior part, the tail, and the anal fin are yellow. There is a variety of species depending on the quantity of yellow visible. (Some refer to C. parasema to be the Azure Damselfish. However, in the world of aquariums, it is known as the Azure Damselfish and is believed to be this species, C. hemicyanea.) A 30 gallon tank or more with lots of rocks and decorations is best. Since it is tolerant of substandard water parameters, it's an extremely popular fish for beginners. A small amount of Azure Damsels can add drama and color to any marine aquarium. It is important to keep this species alongside other fish that are semi-aggressive, since they could become territorial once they grow older. In larger reef tanks this should not be an issue if there are plenty of hiding spots available. The Azure Damselfish diet should comprise of high-quality flake foods as well as frozen meaty foods like mysis or brine shrimp, and sometimes dried seaweed that is offered via a feeding clip. Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 3/4" to 1" Medium: 1" to 1-1/4"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
