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.

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.

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 ;)
