    I am unaware if this happens to most people, but whenever i fall in love with a type of fish somehow one of the lfs around me always gets them in. Thus making me constantly have more aquariums. I am up to 3 different systems now. A softy tank, an sps tank, and my FOWLR. Its too hard to choose between the three types so i set up one of each.

    Personally myself i had never seen these before in person or even in someones tank. The golden Domino damselfish, This fish is a piece of art. Words cannot describe the golden color of how it looks. It appears as if the fish have glowing embers for bodies when stared at. Also instantly the two damsels took to hosting anything they could. I have had almost zero luck with clowns hosting, but every pair of domino damsels hosts instantly.

    Next are these Platinum clowns. Got the pair for 150 bucks, i love them. They are so cool to watch, Now i have a domino clown paired with a black misbar and the pair of platinum clowns paired. Both are in seperate tanks.

    last one. Enjoy

    cool thing i noticed in the eyes of the different types, The platinum ones have orange eyes with a black dot in the centre, whereas the blacks clowns i have, have what looks like all black eyes, notice pic 3 and 11 to see it best.

    thank you all. they are awesome to watch, I love domino damsels. A lot of people dislike them because of their attitude but i find them to be an awesome schooling active swimming hosting fish. Seeing them play in an anemone is fun.

    Normally I am not a fan of Damsels though I really like them. Thanks for sharing!
