Dottybacks are vibrant, hardy saltwater fish from the Indo-Pacific region, commonly found around coral reefs. Known for their intense colors, Dottybacks come in various types like the Orchid Dottyback, Neon Dottyback, and Bicolor Dottyback. These species vary in color and size but share a similar elongated body shape and inquisitive nature. For example, the Orchid Dottyback is typically more peaceful, while the Neon Dottyback can be quite territorial, a common trait among Dottybacks.
Before adopting a Dottyback, consider their semi-aggressive behavior, especially toward smaller fish, and their need for hiding spots in the aquarium. Popular pet Dottyback species include the Orchid and Purple Dottybacks, but keeping them requires space and carefully selected tank mates to avoid conflict.
