yeah, i thought that, too-- but the elongate's colors are just so much more washed out... this one is really brightly-colored... although I did find this shot of one on the web that looks sorta like mine...

no, much more like the elongate-- I think it must be that, apparently they are quite rare in the trade. I must have lucked in!

+1 for elongate dottyback. Mine looks just like that. Neat little fish, very reclusive but its awesome to see him when I get the chance

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
