Scientific Name - Neoglyphidodon nigroris

Common Name - Behn's Damselfish

Size - 5.1" (13 cm)

Min. Aquarium Size - 55 US Gal. (208 L)

Foods and Feeding - Feed live, frozen, flake marine fare for carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores. Feed a minimum of 2 times a day.

Reef Compatibility - Large specimens may eat smaller crustaceans otherwise an excellent reef fish.

Captive Care - Will eat some algae, a beautiful fish as a juvenile, loosing most of its dazzling color as the fish matures, juveniles are aggressive and should not be kept in a docile community tank, only one juvenile or adult should be kept in a tank, adults will become more aggressive as they mature, keep with larger, aggressive fishes.
 
nice fish but in my opinion not worth the headache if you are shooting for a peace full tank and forget how aggressive they can be I have one fiji blue that has been around since tank was started 2 years ago. Shes kind of mean but calms down after she knows the other fish are not after her penthouse on top of the rocks.
