One of the more popular damsels for its vivid coloration and hardiness. It can become more aggressive as it matures, so use caution when mixing with passive tankmates. |

The Blue Damselfish (Chrysiptera cyanea) is sometimes called a Blue Devil Damselfish or an Orangetail Blue Damselfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Blue Damselfish is semi-aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Chrysiptera cyanea should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
