This video taught me that not all damselfish are aggressive. Helpful for selecting peaceful tank mates!

This really changed my perspective on damselfish! I always thought they were just the little troublemakers of the reef. It’s great to see that they have such diverse behaviors and ecological roles. Thanks for shedding light on the truth behind these fascinating fish

Wow, this video really changed my perspective on damselfish! I had no idea there was so much more to these fascinating creatures than just their reputation. The detailed explanations and visuals were fantastic. Thanks for shedding light on the truth and showing that there's a lot more to appreciate about damselfish!

Great video. It’s refreshing to see a balanced view on damselfish. They often get a bad rap, but understanding their behavior and role in the ecosystem can change perspectives. Thanks for shedding light on this..

Great video! It's fascinating to delve into the behavior of damselfish and see how their actions aren't always as malevolent as they might seem. Thanks for shedding light on the nuances!

Another group of Damsels to look into if you're looking for more peaceful species is the genus Chromis. Granted they're not as colorful and can come with their own issues, but if you want an active fish that shimmers in your tank light as it moves, I can strongly recommend a Chromis. They're also dirt cheap since they're in large supply and low demand.

Also, no, Chromis don't _necessarily_ need to be in shoals. You see them in massive shoals in the wild, but in captivity they have a tendency to pick each other off over time and you end up with one survivor anyway. Some people have had luck with them, and I've heard all sorts of advice from "feed them small amounts multiple times a day" to "make sure you have enough hiding spots at night", but the reality is that there's no secret sauce to keeping groups of Chromis long-term. And unlike freshwater shoalers, Chromis actually do fine solo.

It's fantastic how you’ve delved into the intricacies of their personalities and how they interact with their environments. It's cool man, ,

Interesting video! Loved the breakdown of damselfish behavior—great to see they’re not all aggressive as often believed

I think this is an excellent guide for those of us who want to keep damselfish in our aquariums successfully. I love how it explains in detail the importance of choosing the right species and how to introduce them to avoid aggression problems. In addition, he offers practical advice on creating a balanced environment with hiding places, which I find essential for maintaining peace in the tank. Without a doubt, it is a very useful resource for aquarists looking to improve the coexistence between their fish.

Thanks for the detailed info.
It was very enlightening. I’m particularly fascinated by the yellowtail damsel and would love to own one in the future.

My clownfish bullies my yellowtail damselfish. Great tankmates

Damselfish is a unique type of fish. Yellow Tail Damsel is a great one. The fish looks stunning with blue and yellow color on its body. It's interesting that the species has an aggressive personality compared to others. Thank you so much for doing this video.
