Added my first, and probably only, fish today!

I have very limited space in my 10 gallon cube. I wanted a utilitarian fish, something that stayed small, and something pretty. With my recent outbreak of ghost flatworms, a Springeri Damselfish made sense. I found a tiny little guy, baby 3/4" to 7/8" long. To say these guys are hardy is an understatement. I had to acclimate him from 1.012 water to 1.026, he didn't even miss a beat. Then within 5 minutes of being in the new tank he was already picking copepods and flatworms off the glass.

Good choice- and smart to only have one fish, that’s HIS tank now

I love mine! Not sure which springer you got but the "true" one (100% blue, no black) stays absolutely tiny!

Mine only has some black marks on his face. No black on his sides at all (like some pics I've seen online). I really hope he stays tiny just since he's in such a small tank!

Chrysiptera springeri is an amazing species of damselfish which we’ve long admired. Over the last couple of years we’ve seen at least two color forms of damselfish being offered up as C. springeri…
