This beauty is less aggressive than some Damsels. Typically a great community specimen, but adults may act aggressive towards other damsels and new-comers. House with Semi-Aggressive and other more peaceful tankmates. Provide enough hiding spaces to accomidate territories. More "reef-friendly" than most. |

The Talbot's Damselfish (Pomacentrus talboti) is sometimes called a Talbot's Demoiselle. It belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Talbot's Damselfish is passive 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. Pomacentrus talboti 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.

Talbot's Damselfish is far less aggressive than most of its kin. It rarely messes with sessile invertebrates and doesn't grow as large as most. Being that it is just as hardy as other Damselfish, I highly recommend Talbot's Damselfish as a solid choice if people choose to use damsels during tank cycling. I would be willing to bet that you wouldn't need catch them and remove them afterwards. You will probably want more.

| More so passive aggressive. | |

The starter fish consisted of three blue green chromes and one Talbot's Damselfish all of which are still alive. The Talbot's was and is the most aggressive and will test every new tankmate. It is extremely difficult to catch almost sensing he is being pursued. Very hardy in stamina.
