Two Stripe Damsel

The Two Stripe Damselfish (Dascyllus reticulatus), also known as the Reticulated Damselfish, can be found off of the coast of Indonesia. They have a pale or gold body with two large black stripes, one behind the gills, and one before the caudal fin. They reach a maximum size of 4 inches and should be housed in an aquarium with at least 30 gallons. Due to their aggressive nature, they should be kept with fish of similar temperament to avoid them from harming timid fish. Their diet consists of mysis shrimp or other meat preparations, as well as occasional seaweed or algae.
