Fish ID plz

[DJC]

Hey all just visited new store to me and they had this little guy in the tank for sale at a decent price

Very nice looking fish hid a lot from all others in tank

Their claiming it’s a dark fin Cromis I feel like it’s not

Can anyone confirm or ID correctly ? So I can check the compatibility in my tank before I buy

I would guess a Talbot’s damsel

Does the black spot by the tail have a white or blue ring around it?

Maybe a princess damsel, depends on what color the spot is like said above

Either way, 100% a damsel not a chromis (even though chromis are technically damsels but more mellow) lol

Im thinking dusky damsel or even ringtail

Not white looks definitely a blue ring round the spot such a pretty colouration on it

 

[Tamberav]

My guess is princess damsel

Let’s try a close up

My guess is princess damsel

You maybe right on this one I googled and they look similar to what is in my tank

Agree, blue ring wasn’t apparent in the first post

Yeah, looks like a Princess Damsel (Pomacentrus vaiuli).

If it had a distinct white strip by the start of the tail, then it would be a Speckled Damsel (Pomacentrus bankanensis), but I don't see a distinct enough white strip for it - so I'm thinking Princess Damsel is right.

Edit: By the way, for an easy way to tell if it's a Darkfin Chromis (Pycnochromis atripes) or not, the Darkfin Chromis has a distinctive vertical stripe through the eye/pupil.
