It's common for all damsels to get aggressive with age, that's the only thing you usually have to pay special attention to. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

Aggression is one thing to look out for, especially as the fish ages and claims territory in its tank. As with other damselfish, it may well attack any new additions. Do also note that this species grows larger than the typical damsel, at least fourteen cm. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
