General info about Lemon Damsel

The Lemon Damsel is a small, bright yellow damsel with blue lines on the head and fins. Its appearance might get confused with the P.amboinensis, who has less bright color with a larger spot at the pectoral fin, unlike the Lemon Damsel. It inhibits branching corals and hides over the branches when frightened. With its stunning yellow color, the Lemon Damsel adds a splash of yellow color into the aquarium. As it grows, its color fades away and become more aggressive. Generally, the Lemon Damsel prefers to be solitary and mostly found feeding on the zooplanktons present in the tank. Damsel is a hardy fish, which can tolerate a wide range of water conditions and that makes it a very good choice for a beginner aquarist. The Lemon Damsel is a bit territorial and should be added last to the community tank so that it gets along well with other tank inhabitants.
