yellow tail damsel

Emg · 07-10-2008, 06:06 PM

Went shopping again today. I needed some more color in the 50 and figured I had room for one of these.

Being a damsel, I'll have to keep an eye on it to see how it gets along with the others. I've read that they're the least aggressive of the damsel fish...we'll see. If it gets to be a problem I have another tank where it can hang out by itself. A running 10 that I have where I put all the extra macro.

I also picked up a tube worm.....why not ?

We had a yellow tail for a while. They're not as bad as say, a three stripe, but ours didn't try to claim the entire tank.

And they are bright!

That tube worm looks so much better than it sounds!

Pretty stuff, good luck.

The damsel looks mean--cute, but mean!

I don't think she looks mean, skeptical maybe.

Everything I have read and heard about them says that they are pretty peaceful.

So far it's getting alone rather well. I think it will be fine, I just may get another.....

Pray you never take the tank apart... One of mine lived in a paper wrapped Liverock hole for close to a week before I got it into a tank.. It survived... they love to hide and trying to get one out once it's in is to put it mildly...Difficult.. you practically have to Disassemble most of the rock work to get them out.....

Yeah....I know

So far no issues. But it does certainly like to hide in the holes.
