Orchid Dottyback

[wayner]

Anyone see these at Elite yesterday, scooped up a couple, forgot to ask if they were tank raised, anyone know?, I know ORA breeds them now & wouldn't be surprised if other people do as well.

They likely are. Apparently there's a dude up by Edmonton who has batches. They've appeared at Gold too in recent months.

I doubt actually mated but still one of each sex, so maybe one day.

Are they as aggressive as i've heard dottys can be?

Had one for a couple years with a damsel,3 chromis ,yellow tang ,goby ,sebae clown and a manderin .He would ''argue'' with the damsel when the damsel was in his space but that was it.

They are about as passive as it gets for a dottyback.
