saf51 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I have two blue damsels and have had them since I first started my tank (about 2 months). At first they were both really active but now only one is active and the other stays hidden in a rock 95% of the time. His color is still vivid blue which to me indicates he is not under stress (although I could be wrong). Is it normal for blue devil damsels to act this way?? Link to comment
xcajx Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 One has declared his dominance and the other stays put to avoid getting the crap beat out of him... just a guess Link to comment
Superdave Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 They can be a very aggresive little fish! I had one in a 20 gal, and it kept another damsel pinned in the corner. You could re-arrange the tank as this will sometimes throw off them off and create the sense of a new environment, where all dominance is off. I had to do this quite frequently with my african chicild tanks. If that doesn't work, I would vote to return one and keep the passive one. Link to comment
