The Story

The Longfin Indigo Dottyback is a Captive-Bred hybrid fish, known for its striking bluish-purple body, black stripes inherited from the Striped Dottyback, and a more docile temperament than many other dottyback species. Growing to about 3 inches, it thrives in reef-safe saltwater aquariums of 30 gallons or more, requiring a diet of meaty foods like mysis shrimp, and benefits from live rock for hiding. 
Physical Characteristics

Behavior & Temperament

  • Docile:Generally more peaceful and docile compared to other dottyback species. 
  • Territorial:May exhibit some territorial behavior, especially towards other dottybacks or similarly shaped fish, but is considered reef-safe. 
  • Active:Can be shy initially but becomes bolder in its aquarium, darting in and out of live rock and appearing more visible during feeding. 
Diet

  • Carnivorous:A carnivore that readily accepts a variety of meaty foods. 
  • Suggested Foods:Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, krill, and other small meaty foods. 
Aquarium Requirements

  • Tank Size:A minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended for a single fish or pair. 
  • Live Rock:Requires plenty of live rock with caves and crevices to provide hiding places. 
  • Tankmates:Can be kept in a community tank but may require thoughtful selection of other inhabitants due to their territorial nature.
