Description
The Electric Indigo Dottyback is a vibrant, tank-raised fish, characterized by its deep blue and purple hues that add a splash of color to any aquarium. Known for its striking appearance, this dottyback is both beautiful and hardy.
It is semi-aggressive, and while it can coexist with other species, it may display territorial behavior towards smaller fish or invertebrates. This species is best kept in a well-structured aquarium with plenty of hiding spots.
As a carnivore, it thrives on a diet of meaty foods like mysis shrimp and other prepared carnivorous fish foods. This dottyback is also reef safe, making it a good addition to most community reef tanks.
