Fish Identity???

[corahhhhline]

I stopped by a LFS on the way home from work and saw this thing. I had to take the pic with my phone, so it isn't the clearest shot. The little guy was quick, so it took a few to get one that wasn't so blurry. The girl closing up couldn't identify him, but said she's sell him to me at the royal gramma price, since it was the only one on the tank! Did I miss out on a huge bargain not grabbing him up? What is it?!?!

Looks like an Arabian Dottyback/Pseudochromis. Be careful, they can pack quite an attitude.

Thanks for the identity. Yeah, I looked at a few pics on Google Images, and it looks just like him. After reading the terror they've created for others, I'm glad I turned it down...even if it were at a good price!

I have had an Arabian DB for 3 years, and like we hear daily on RC, each fish has their own personalty. My ADB is in a 125g tank and has never bothered any other fish, large or small. He is inquisitive, active, cautious and delightfully colored. I would attribute my success to his personality, having him in a tank where is not confined and has plenty of room to swim or retreat, and keeping him with fish that do not attempt to crowd him.

They go for about 3x a gramma here, but it is for an ORA one. Mine is not particularly aggressive, unless it sees a bristleworm.
