Yellowbelly Damselfish: A Splash of Blue and Gold for Your Reef

Bring vibrant colour and dynamic activity to your saltwater aquarium with the striking Yellowbelly Damselfish. Hardy and engaging, this beautiful species is an ideal choice for both new and experienced marine aquarists.

Overview

The Yellowbelly Damselfish (*Pomacentrus auriventrus*) boasts a captivating appearance with its iridescent blue upper body that transitions seamlessly into a brilliant golden-yellow belly and caudal fin. These active and energetic fish are known for their constant swimming, darting gracefully around rockwork and coral structures. A fantastic addition to any reef-safe setup, they add continuous movement and a lively presence to your underwater world.

Care Level

Considered easy to care for and remarkably hardy, the Yellowbelly Damselfish is perfect for beginners, though its semi-aggressive temperament requires thoughtful tankmate selection. They thrive alongside other semi-aggressive or fast-moving fish, enhancing the visual appeal of your healthy aquarium fish collection.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 115 litres is recommended to provide ample swimming space and accommodate their active nature. Maintain stable water parameters: pH between 8.1 and 8.4, and a temperature range of 24-27°C. Ensure plenty of live rock for hiding spots and territorial boundaries.

Diet

As omnivores, Yellowbelly Damselfish thrive on a varied diet. Offer high-quality marine flakes, pellets, and frozen foods such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. Supplement with occasional dried seaweed to maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health.
