What is the Swell Dusky Damselfish?
The Dusky Damselfish is an omnivorous species of fish that feeds on algae and small invertebrates, it is very hardy and adaptable meaning it is perfect for both beginners and experienced aquarists. It has colours which range from a deep blue to black, which gives it a dusky appearance which is where it gets its name from, they also feature blue highlights on its fins which create a beautiful contrast against the darker aesthetic of the rest of the fish. They prefer aquariums with plenty of hiding locations and they can become quite territorial of their areas so make sure they have ample space to call their own
