I strongly disagree with BBQHILLBILLY. I am not sure from what he said if he ever keep Orchid Dottyback. Mor liekly just heard from the mean reputation of Dottyback in general.
Orchid Dottyback are very docile, about the only dottyback that are very good community fish, even added first. They are tank bred these day because they are exclusive in the Red Sea in the wild and cost a fortune before they are tank raised. Very beautiful bright small dottyback.
Make sure you get a Pseudochromis fridmani not a Pseudochromis porphyreus which is a little killer
Orchid dottyback, or P. fridmani. Notice the color fins and the black strip through the eyes
Avoid Strawberry dottyback or P. porphyreus. Notice the clear fins and no black strip on the eyes
My banggai cardinal do not bother any other fish. I never heard of Banggai pick on other fish. Only males fight with each other.
