overview
  
The Yellow Damselfish (Amblyglyphidodon aureus) is sometimes called a Golden Damselfish, a Lemon Damsel, or a Lemonpeel Damsel. It belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Yellow Damselfish is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately 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. Amblyglyphidodon aureus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in sizeand in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023.
