Damsel tank 50 Breeder Packed with Damsel Fish

[stunod15]

dont damsels like to be overcrowded ? In the wild they swim in schools

[RaffleReefer10]

@stunod15 in the wild they have a thing called space

[TheGoodstuff69]

kinda like cichlids, the more you have the better dispersed the aggression...i guess. Interesting

Please tell how you breed damsels because I bought a male and a female today

[dawny87]

@legomaster5551 It isn't hard to breed them, if in fact you have a male and a female. You need to make sure you have a structure, for the eggs to stick to the top of the structure. for example. In my tank we have live rock, fossil house and multiple rock decorations. They will start nesting and displaying interest on their own time. It's after the fry hatch... that's the hard part. You'll need to have Rotifer Cultures readily available when they hatch.

3 per gallon?! Looks really nice though

Can someone say "OVERSTOCKED"!!! D:

[RaffleReefer10]

@TheDarkGoby totally!

[dttruon]

@TheDarkGoby the bottom-line is if he takes care of the water really well and the fish feels secure with quantity, that's all that matters. damsels naturally aggregate together in the wild like this. an inch of fish per gallon of water is a rule of thumb for newbies who doesn't know how to control their water parameters. experienced aquarists defy all rule of thumbs.

[TheDarkGoby]

@dttruon Yeah, I am experienced fishkeeper. I've overstocked tanks before, such as South American Biotypes, and African Cichlids, but there is a fine line between overstocked and what is shown in the vid. There is no way anyone without the use of computerized water changing systems would be able to keep up with the quantity and frequency needed to keep that water from rapid and complete deterioration.

Saltwater fish are much less tollerant than freshwater, even hardy damsels have their limit.
