The Royal/Bicolor Dottyback is a striking marine fish known for its intense coloration, sporting a brilliant purple front half and a vibrant yellow back half. This two-toned beauty is a great addition to marine aquariums for hobbyists looking for a fish with both personality and aesthetic appeal.

Native to the reefs of the Indo-Pacific, this dottyback is hardy and easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for beginner aquarists. While it is considered reef-safe, caution should be exercised, as the Royal/Bicolor Dottyback can display semi-aggressive behavior, particularly toward smaller or similarly-sized tank mates. However, it generally poses no threat to corals or invertebrates.

A carnivorous species, the Royal/Bicolor Dottyback thrives on a diet of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and high-quality pellets. Reaching a maximum size of 3 inches, this fish is ideal for tanks as small as 30 gallons. With its vivid colors and energetic nature, the Royal/Bicolor Dottyback is sure to add a splash of color and character to any saltwater aquarium.
