phiber_optikx Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I have a neon dottyback and was wondering if he will kill a peppermint shrimp if I added one.... I am wanting one for aptasia conrol and also just to beef up the cuc a bit. Link to comment

Alexraptor Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Absolutley bloody not... Dottyback's are notorious for killing shrimps. I had a bicolor that ripped apart three pepperminth shrimps that were like almost twice its own size. Link to comment
Toomin Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 i am not sure about shrimps. but dottyback is really agressive towards fish. maybe my fishes are bully magnets(damsel and clowns) Link to comment
harbingerofthefish Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Most likely your shrimp will be dinner. I had a Sunrise Dottyback and in the first few days he ate all my crabs. By the end of the week the shrimp was gone. Everything that moved but the snails was systematically eliminated. Pretty and active fish though Link to comment
