Neon Dottyback - Tankraised - Small
The Neon Dottyback is yellow-orange with one irridescent blue stripe running from the snout to the tail fin, and another from the upper jaw to the gill cover. They also have blue accents on the tail, dorsal fin, and gill cover. The Neon Dottyback is not as shy as other Dottybacks and will spend a lot of time in the open. They are very aggressive, and should not be kept with each other or similar species except in a very large aquarium. They have even been known to attack larger fish, and may not get along with wrasses. They are excellent for reef aquariums because they will feed on bristle worms. They prefer live food but will eat frozen foods like brine shrimp, krill, and mysis shrimp. This Neon Dottyback is tankraised. It has been bred in captivity, making it more acclimated to aquarium conditions and reducing its exposure to wild parasites.
