Notes: As with most Damsels, the Three-stripe Damsel grows from a docile juvenile into an aggressive adult. As a result, Damsels should not be kept with small docile tank-mates, rather with other aggressive community fishes. Numerous juveniles may be kept together; however, adults will often fight unless they are a pair. If you plan to keep several types of Damsels it is recommended that you add them at the same time to avoid territorial disputes. Make sure to provide caves or hiding places for them.
The Three-stripe Damsel is not a threat to corals, clams, or invertebrates.
Feed a varied diet of both herbivore and carnivore preparations, including mysid shrimp, brine shrimp, and marine algae.
