Overview

The Red Spotted Dottyback originates from the reefs of the Indian Ocean, and is a beautiful addition to any saltwater aquarium. Its pale body and fins are adorned with beautiful red spots, which create a lined pattern.

A 50-gallon or larger aquarium with many hiding places provides a good environment. This Pseudochromis should be housed with moderately aggressive fish larger than itself. Although it is an excellent reef fish, it may eat small ornamental shrimp.

As a carnivore, the Red Spotted Dottyback will thrive on a diet of meaty foods such as finely chopped fresh or frozen marine fish, squid, mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and frozen carnivore preparations.

Approximate Purchase Size: 3/4" to 1-1/2"
