Buy Discus Fish Online - Clarification
LIVE FISH CLARIFICATION Occasional variations in color and name changes can lead to confusions in this group, especially in the species that are predominantly blue. The latter includes a blue-green damsel, while the blue damsels can present yellow coloring on the tail and belly, although this varies from one specimen to another. They are all easy to acclimatize and feed, and they reproduce in captivity - all these factors endear them to beginners. The second group of damsels is distinguished by its vertical black bands (genus Dascyllus’, 6 or 7 species are currently imported). The third group covers the Abudefduf genus - including the species sometimes known as “devils” - which are less common in aquariums. Dascyllus trimaculatus The young domino damsels live in groups, while the adults gradually isolate themselves. The white spots disappear in older fishes. Their reproduction is easy; the male watches over the eggs. Size: 14 cm. Dascyllus aruanus The three-stripe damsel does not exceed 8 cm in length as an adult and prefers to live in isolation; the young live in groups. A closely related species, D. melanurus (black-tailed damsel), is distinguished by a vertical black band on the tip of the caudal fin. LABRIDAE The Labrids constitute one of the major fish families (several hundred species divided among 70 genera). These highly active, colored fish with fusiform (tapering at each end) bodies often live alone. Some species bury themselves in the sediment at night, and this must be taken into account when planning the aquarium: provide them with a sandy bed. Their sturdy teeth allow them to feed on invertebrates (which must, therefore, be kept away from them). In captivity they accept live prey, but will become accustomed to deep-frozen (sometimes commercial) food. The coloring of the juveniles is often very different from that of the adults. Coris angulata The Coris clown wrasse grows to 1 m in the wild but does not exceed 30 cm in an aquarium. The juveniles are characterized by their large, red dorsal patches, which fade when they reach a length of 10-15 cm. The adults are a uniform brownblack. Aggressive towards other wrasses, this fish buries itself at night, or when in danger.
