Golden Domino Damselfish (Dascyllus cf auripinnis)

The Golden Domino Damselfish, also known as the Yellow Domino Damselfish, Threespot or Yellow Dascyllus. This species is so named due to the three white spots on its yellow and black body. This variation of the standard Domino Damsel is highly sought after for its unique coloration. As juveniles this fish will look quite close to the standard Domino Damsel. As the fish matures the gold tinting will begin to appear.

A 30 gallon aquarium or larger with plenty of live rock and décor is ideal. Because it can tolerate substandard water parameters, it is a popular fish among beginning hobbyists. A small group of juvenile Golden Domino Damselfish will add color and drama to most marine aquariums. Maintain this species with other semi-aggressive or aggressive fish, as they will become territorial as they mature.

The Golden Domino Damselfish feeds on a variety of meaty foods, herbivore preparations, and flaked foods.
