As juveniles these fish are great for community and reef tanks. However, as they grow larger they may become more aggressive and territorial towards more passive tank mates. Their white spots fade to black with age. |

The Threespot Dascyllus (Dascyllus trimaculatus) is sometimes called a Domino Damselfish or a Three-spot Damselfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 6.0 inches in length, the Threespot Dascyllus 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. Dascyllus trimaculatus should not be housed in a tank less than 55 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.
