The Chrysiptera springeri, commonly known as the Springer's damselfish, is a vibrant and colorful saltwater fish species that is native to the Indo-Pacific region. This small damselfish has a distinctive blue-green body with yellow markings, making it a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts.
Springer's damselfish grow to a maximum size of 3 inches and require a minimum tank size of 20 gallons. They are hardy and easy to care for, making them suitable for beginner aquarists. They thrive in a well-established tank with plenty of live rock and hiding places.
These omnivorous fish will eat a variety of foods, including flakes, pellets, and small pieces of meaty foods. It's important to provide a balanced diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
