Red Head Dwarf Dottyback

[SideCar_Falcon619]

Ordered off divers den for delivery tomorrow.

 

I only know the basic stats that liveaquaria provides.

 

Anybody at all have any experience with this fish?

You will find lots of info under dilectus dottyback.

 

They can be aggressive to smaller or same size fish.

Dottybacks have quite the reputation for being mean and territorial excluding the orchid.

They feed on benthic crustaceans- polychaete as well as various pods, shrimp, possibly crabs.

 

I have a bicolor dotty, my hermit population has dropped, found my emerald crab dead, i keep no shrimp and no other fish with it.
