Pomacentrus pavo is a popular choice among marine aquarium enthusiasts due to its vivid colouring and robust nature. This damselfish species is suitable for a range of tank sizes and is generally peaceful but can exhibit territorial behaviour, especially in smaller aquariums.
Care Level: Easy to moderate, making it suitable for hobbyists with some marine experience.
Temperament: Semi-aggressive; best kept with other peaceful or similarly sized fish. Avoid housing with very passive or slow-moving species to prevent stress.
Diet: Omnivorous. Feed a varied diet including high-quality flake or pellet foods, supplemented with frozen or live brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and marine algae.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres is recommended to provide adequate swimming space and reduce territorial disputes.
Reef Compatibility: With caution. While generally reef safe, Pomacentrus pavo may nip at corals or invertebrates if not well-fed or if space is limited.
Lighting and Water Flow: Standard marine aquarium lighting and moderate water flow are suitable. Ensure stable water parameters with regular maintenance.
Placement: Provide plenty of live rock for hiding and territory establishment. This will help reduce aggression and stress.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 8 cm in length.
