    Damselfish Identification

    I believe I bought this Damselfish from Petco as a Peach Damselfish. In the few months I have had him he has grown significantly. I am unable to find such a damselfish species on any website, and I would like to seek some species specific information on this particular Damselfish. Picture is attached, can you help identify this Damselfish?

    Re: Damselfish Identification

    Wow, I am dissapointed in the forum, posted for almost a whole week and not even a hint of a reply.... the forum does not seem to be as helpful as most had been in the past, of course this identification is difficult I agree, I looked and looked and found no such similar damselfish, but obviosly this is a damselfish of some kind.

    Re: Damselfish Identification

    Monte,

    First off I'm not replying to this thread to appease your disappointment, however like you, I have searched all my sights and such with no results, the best I can offer is it is a mature(adult) jewel damsel fish or it's a cross-breed of sometype, I wish you luck on actually identifying it as I've had no luck finding anything close.
    Tanks,
    Robert

    Re: Damselfish Identification

    I googled "peach damselfish" immediately after you put up your post but I came up empty. I figured why post something meaningless when someone else might post something more informative.

    Sorry, but I don't recognize the fish in your photo.

    Re: Damselfish Identification

    Thank you all for saying something, I appreciate it, I usually try to post my general thoughts on those I can help. Best I could find is this might be an Ocellated damsel, they seem to come in many variations and color mixes, found on www.fishbase.org , pretty informative site on fish in general, apparently widely used by the scientific community... Again thanks all, I wasn't tht upset over the lack of response, just generally describing....
