Dottybacks and bristleworms

Aerosol · 07/02/2014, 10:37 PM

I have a purple stripe dottyback in my my 55g. I know that it will eat bristleworms, but how adept are they at hunting them? Will I be able to establish/maintain a bristleworm population in my tank? Thanks.

Shouldnt be a problem. They will mostly hide in the daytime when the dottyback is awake anyway.
