I bought a neon dottyback (3-3.5 inches long) from a LFS yesterday. I just had to have it! I told her what I had in my tank and she assured me they would all get along. Well......I need some advice.
Quick summary:
75g w/ 100 lbs LR
false perc
yellow wrasse
(2) firefish
mandarin goby
yellow watchman goby / pistol shrimp
scooter blenny
cleaner shrimp
peppermint shrimp
So far, I've noticed the neon dottyback pecking at the pistol shrimp, mandarin goby, scooter blenny, and the cleaner shrimp. He seems most aggressive towards the pistol shrimp. Although the pistol shrimp does his "pistol snap" and the dottyback goes away until he sees him again.
Will he calm down? Will this combination work long term?
