Talbot Damsel Chromis Chrysiptera Talboti

Overview: The Talbot Damsel is a vibrant, captivating addition to any marine aquarium. With its striking blue body and a hint of yellow on the fins, this small fish adds a splash of color and dynamism. They reach a modest size of up to 2 inches, making them perfect for a variety of tank sizes.

Origin: Native to the Western Pacific Ocean, particularly around coral reefs of Australia and Indonesia, the Talbot Damsel thrives in a reef-like environment that mimics their natural habitat.

Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, they require a varied diet to stay healthy. High-quality marine flake food, frozen, and live foods such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp are ideal. Consistent feeding schedules will ensure vibrant coloration and vitality.

Tank Mates: The Talbot Damsel is relatively peaceful but can exhibit territorial behavior towards its kind or similarly sized fish. Ideal tank mates include larger, non-aggressive species. They thrive in a community tank setting when introduced with care.

Aggression: While generally peaceful towards other species, Talbot Damsels can become territorial. Adequate space and hiding spots reduce aggression, especially in a reef tank setting.

Experience Level: This species is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced aquarists. Their hardy nature and adaptability make them forgiving for beginners, yet their vibrant colors and interesting behaviors will also appeal to the experienced.
