The 3-Spot Domino Damselfish, also known as the Three
Spot Damselfish, Threespot Dascyllus or Domino Damselfish, is so named due to
the three white spots on its black body. It matures into an aggressive adult
whose bright spots fade with age and will enter into a relationship with
Stichodactyla species (Carpet Anemone) if one is available.
A 30 gallon aquarium or larger is suitable in size.
Because it can tolerate substandard water parameters, it is a popular fish
among beginning hobbyists. The 3-Spot Domino Damselfish becomes more active and
aggressive with age. Therefore, it is a great fish to grow up with larger
tankmates.
The 3-Spot Domino Damselfish feeds on a variety of meaty
foods, herbivore preparations, and flaked foods.
