About Four Stripe Damselfish

General information

They are found in the Western Pacific, from Sumatra to Vanuatu and northwards to the Ryukyu Islands of Japan. This species can also be found Southwards, down to New Caledonia and Tonga. The Four Stripe Damselfish is a member of the Pomacentridae family. In appearance, they feature a total of four blacks bars along with three white bars and a white spot above its lip. The Black-Tailed Dascyllus usually grows up to a maximum size of 3 inches in length. This species also readily consumes finely chopped meaty foods. It is recommended to feed the Four Stripe Damselfish in small amounts several times a day. This species is usually aggressive in temperament, especially as they grow older.
