Regal Demoiselle

General information

Regal Demoiselle is blackish grey with a lyre tail that frames an elegant burst of yellow. It is commonly kept in small schools if provided ample swimming space and room to roam. It is a relatively passive fish. Native to reefs ranging from mid-depth to shallow lagoons of the Indo-Pacific and South Pacific, wild specimens prefer to school in large shoals amongst branching corals like Acropora. In the home aquarium, the Regal Demoiselle does best in similar environments and will actively swim at all levels of the aquarium water column.
