Bring a classy and robust Damselfish to the reef aquarium with the Regal Damsel. This stunningly beautiful dark aquarium fish is black-gray with a lyre tail that frames an exquisite burst of yellow. It is typically kept for long periods in small groups, provided it is given plenty of space to swim and to move about. It is a comparatively quiet fish, which can provide an impressive effect to the reef or fish-only aquarium. The reefs they inhabit range from deep to shallow lagoons of the Indo-Pacific and South Pacific, wild specimens prefer to gather in huge shoals within branching corals such as Acropora. In the home aquarium, the Regal Demoiselle does best in similar conditions and can move through all levels of the water column. Smaller schools that are made of Regal Demoiselle add a unifying and elegant pop of elegance to nearly any reef system. They are not very picky eaters. In aquariums they usually consume pellets and flakes however, they must also be fed frozen or fresh algae as well as fleshy food items like the mysis shrimp, plankton, and krill scallops. Approximate Purchase Size: 3/4" 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.
