Humbug-two stripe, Dascyllus carneus

The Humbug Two Stripe Damsel Dascyllus carneus has a slightly variable coloring and rather net-like patterning. Its white to dusky body is often adorned with a cross-hatch design and outlined with strong black or brown bands. It usually has a dusky yellow or greenish yellow head and is sometimes accented with hints of blue.Tiny blue speckles on the head and belly area are occasionally seen, and sometimes there is a a hint of blue luminescence on its white tail fin.

This damsel fish comes from the Indian Ocean, but is replaced in the Pacific by its very similar looking relative, the Reticulated Dascyllus Dascyllus reticulatus. These two are often confused, and though the Reticulated does get larger it also has a hint of a black stripe in the tailfin. Due to its place of origin the Cloudy Damsel is also commonly known as the Indian Dascyllus and Indian Humbug. Its coloring also lends additional common names like Blue Spotted Dascyllus, Freckled Damsel fish, Cloudy Dascyllus, Bluetop Dascyllus, Striped Damsel, and Twobar Humbug.

These are small damsels that only grow to about 2 3/4 inches (7 cm) in length and they may live up to 15 years in captivity. They are readily available, very hardy, and low cost which makes them suitable for beginners. These damsels are not quite as dynamic in appearance as others in their genus, but they are also not quite as cantankerous. Still, they do get aggressive as they mature so tank mates need to be carefully selected
