Blue devil Damsel

Trigger780 · 09/26/2010, 01:43 PM

I,ve heard Blue devils can be rather aggressive towards passive fish. Would they be alright in a tank with say a Powderblue Tang and queen angle along with a lunare wrasse?

I think you'll be ok. You probably won't even notice it that often considering the tank is large enough to hold those other three fish you mentioned.

Well it depends what size tank you have

First off, what size tank do you have? We cannot say its fine if we don't know the volume first!

The tank is a 75Gal with 30gal sump, 180 vertex skimmer, 100lbs LR, now before everyone starts telling me its too small too house the other fish, I already know that, I have a 150gal sitting in the garage It needs too be drilled and a stand built before I put it too use. which will be in a few months.

The 75 Will be a temporary home.

Unless it is a large tank i would not recommend it. They will be more insensed by larger fish even the trigger unless it is large already. There is a reason why their ca
lled Blue Devils.

I tried the powder blue in 75 didn't work. Fish go too stressed since there isn't anywhere to swim lengthwise

Back on topic,

it all depends on the blue devils personality, I had one living with tangs and butterflies and it was kept in check by the larger fish. Just make sure that when you go to pick one out, study your choices and try to get one that is somewhat mellow.
