i have had my tank set up for nearly two years now and the first fish that i bought was a yellow tail blue damsel. it does not seem to be growing at all. i just bought a devil damsel about three months ago and he has shown more growth in the three months than my other damsel that i have.

I've had one for 3 years and he doesn't grow much either. Maybe yours is full size. Most saltwater fish are slow growers.

Most yellow tails I've seen are only about an inch an quarter. That is about the size of my Blue damsel that I have had for about nine months.

I have a pair of YTB damsels that are 8-9 years old and they aren't even an inch. They spawn and everything.
