Least aggressive blue damsel?

[snorvich]

Just out of curiosity, which species of damsel do folks consider the least aggressive (but blue in coloration)?

Sprimgeri damsel is the least aggressive damsel I have ever had, followed by azure damsel, them Chrysiptera arnazae.

I would have to agree with springer.

 

[jarrod13]

Agree with both above, I have had both and currently have an azure.

I've never had one but I also hear starki's are mellow

 

[davocean]

Allens

Springers,nice shade of royal blue.Mine are at the bottom of the pecking order in my tank.Even the small gobies chase them.Springers are also a predator of flatworms.

Springeri are very mellow.

I have kept lots of Kupang, and they are well behaved as well.

x2..Still have my Azure...stay away from anything with devil in its name..blue devi, fiji devil..etc...they earned the name...I do have a fiji only because it really is a beauty....looks like the Azure with the yellow belly and brighter blue, but also has a yellow top dorsel.

I have had (and still have) Springer's, Azure's, Yellow tails (C. parasema), Allen's, and Starki's - the least aggressive would have to be the Allen's and the Starcki's - the first three I listed have all showed significant aggression with maturity, but not as much as the more aggressive species such as blue devils.

I should note that my damsels (except the Starki) currently reside in a 40B (w/ 20L sump) with a total of 15 fish (seven damsels, 2 clowns) - sort of like slightly crowding African cichlids to cut down on territorial aggression. They leave a red firefish, elongate pseudochromis, and Lubbock's fairy wrasse completely alone.
