    More than one kind of Donino Damselfish ?

    I've seen some sites call the fish a "3 spot domino" and others just say "domino"

    Except the 3 spot supposedly get's 6" in size, and the other one only 4" in size ..

    Is this the same fish ? Or two different kinds ?

    Well, from what I get outta this, its the same fish. You will find that not all sites have the same tank requirements and fish size.

    I began with dominoes. had 5 of them. They fought so badly after a few weeks I took the one out that managed to stay alive against the worst one. Ended up with just one that I had to remove. Started to pick on other fish and took it out. One should do well with the Trigger and any other aggressive kind of fish.

    Well I had three for a week or so .. Now there is only one .. I haven't found the bodies yet.. I'm assuming they are dead ..

    I have the clown trigger in there, he is about the same size as the domino, they seem to be getting along great ..

    I'd like to add a porcupine puffer, but I'm guessing he would hunt and kill the domino eventually .. .
