Leo_ian Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 I just left the shop the fish just stays at the top part of the container ill ask them for a pic of it Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Oh, okay - somehow I missed that. It's quite difficult to tell. I know there are red serosa dottybacks, but I've never seen/heard of a red bita one before. Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Leo - does it look like this? (Pic taken from Google) : ^If yes, then it's also known as a splendid dottyback. And yes, they're very beautiful. But aggressive too. Quote Link to comment

Opotter Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I will leave the is it or is it not ich question for those on the site with more experience diagnosing fish diseases from photos. But, if you decide to go ahead and get the fish I would definitely quarantine before going into your display. It’s just not worth the risk ever unless you are buying from a vendor who sells pre-quarantined fish. 1 Quote Link to comment

They are a vendor that quarantines but I have had fish from them that dies in a day Quote Link to comment
