The Orchid Dottyback is a vibrant addition to any reef aquarium, showcasing a striking blend of purple and pink hues. This smaller reef fish, with its slender body, is sure to enhance the visual appeal of your tank.

Reaching up to 3 inches in length, the Orchid Dottyback thrives in tanks of at least 29 gallons. Known for being reef-safe, these fish coexist peacefully with other marine life, though they may defend their territory by chasing away intruders.

While some aquarists have noted the Orchid Dottyback's ability to manage bristleworm populations, this behavior varies with each fish's unique personality and preferences.

As a carnivorous species, the Orchid Dottyback requires a diet rich in meaty foods. Ideal options include mysis and brine shrimp, along with other mixed frozen marine foods.
