likwid Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'm looking at getting a O. Clown for my tank along with either a bicolor dottyback or a royal gramma. Which of these two do you prefer for a 10g and why? Link to comment
likwid Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 bump.. need to know for tonight.. Link to comment
chrisdamage Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I have a true perc and a purple orchid dottyback... they are both really active and fun to watch... I vote the dottyback... you might want to think about a less agressive dottyback though Link to comment
murphy_5 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I have 2 black Ocellaris and a Royal gramma and they do just fine...personally I wouldn't put that dottyback in there with the clown. I think it would get picked on too much. I have always wanted a purple Dottyback but have no where to put him Link to comment
murphy_5 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The Bi-color Dottyback (Pseudochromis) has similar coloration to the Royal Gramma right? Just making sure we are on the same page. If I had to choose between the two I would take the RG because it is less aggressive, and almost as hardy IMO. I think the Bicolor would be too territorial in a smaller nano tank like around 20G or less. Link to comment

I think it would get picked on too much. I have always wanted a purple Dottyback but have no where to put him well... as the dottyback becomes mature, I'd put money on him being the dominant fish Link to comment
justinl Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 pick ONE of those fish and leave it at that. after that you can add something tiny like a clown goby but that's it. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 The only fish my neon dottyback didnt go after were my pair of black clowns. Link to comment
wimby Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I have a clown and a royal gramma they are fine in my tank of course no one can go near the clowns torch but other then that they get along fine i like how the gramma hangs out in the holes of the rock upside down sticking his head out its very cool Link to comment
