I recently bought a splendid dottyback and i am pleased with my purchase although i am a bit worried about it attacking my other fish (royal grammer and firefish) although i have read that it is one of the most peaceful dottybacks. It was also added last after the other fish have been in there months. There are plenty of hiding places for all the fish.

Has anyone else got a splendid dottyback or had any experiances that they can share thankyou.

I used to have one in my reef tank and I was not happy with it. It ambushed the smaller fish at night and also ate my peppermint shrimps.

It is one of the more peaceful dottybacks, but it will still most likely take out the other two fish, unless they are alot bigger. Dottybacks can be very aggressive.
