Blue Fin Damsel

[ssunthar]

Hi experts, been having a blue fin damsel for a while now.. initially its color was like this..

But now it look like this...

Is this normal? Is this its adult coloration?
Thanks.

Yes it is the adult coloration.

Has it turned super aggressive?

 

[ssunthar]

Oh.. thanks. Won't say very aggressive but surely very dominant. Will he be very aggressive?

Every fish is different although this one does have a reputation for being aggressive even for a Damsel. How long have you had it for?

Just be prepared to remove if it gets aggressive but who knows, every fish is different. I see you’re from SG eh. What’s the hobby like in your place? I live in China.

Thanks for the caution.. will keep an eye. Yes, i am from SG and reefing is a very popular hobby here... how is it in China? Are you based in HK?

Actually no, but close. Am in Guangzhou. Reefing here is only starting to grow, taking baby steps. Maybe no more than 16-17 years old, less than potential lifespan of a Clownfish. Have you noticed many differences between tanks in SG and tanks in the US / Europe?

I’m Chinese-Canadian.
