Neon Dottyback

General information

The Neon Dottyback is a beautiful yellow/orange color with neon blue stripes on its dorsal fin, gill cover, and tail. It's a very popular species which was once commonly imported from the Persian Gulf but is very seldom harvested from the wild. It should be housed with moderately aggressive larger fish. It may eat ornamental shrimp, but makes an excellent predator of bristle worms in the reef aquarium.
