Springer damsel

[Makubex]

Can i buy a single springer damsel and expect it to do well?(since its a community fish), also will it pick on my cc starfish and brittle starfish? If i pair it would it become more aggressive? What if i keep it single would that make it hide more often, or become more aggressive?

Yes, it will perfectly fine as a single.

also will it pick on my cc starfish and brittle starfish?

They are reef safe

If i pair it would it become more aggressive?

Maybe, if they mate. I tried a pair of yellow tails in my 125, and it didn't work...possibly got 2 males, but not sure.

I have a single. It doesn't hide, but it is the wimpiest fish in my tank.

Behavior will depend a little bit on tank size and tankmates though.

Hope that helps.

Don't know anything about starfish but I have a single Springer damsel doing fine (with a clownfish) and a group of 3 doing fine (with a single clownfish) as well. Even though mine have been 100% peaceful being damsels I would still make sure they are the last fish you put in.

A single damsel should be fine there. It may be the most peaceful fish of that group.

How long have you had the three Springers together? Are they still doing fine?
