Doug - do you have a pic, or a sample pic of the fish. I can't remember if you said it was a strawberry or orchid dottyback. Would be interested if it was an orchid.

TIA

I think he said strawberry, Cuzz I purchased one from john and he mentioned to me he had one and how they were aggressive

I am in the midst of playing rock tetris.....without sand its a WHOLE bunch harder....too bad I really liked the way I had it....

He is in the bottom left of the attached pic.....I will do some quick research and see if I can find which one it is......but I am going to say its the strawberry....bought him at O st about........two years ago? very hardy and strong fish.....

checked a couple of sites and the tell tale is the stripe for the orchid vs the strawberry.....this one is a strawberry.....

anyone want him......or back to O st he goes.......

My daughter would like it if Unarce passes.

Rachelle - the pic looks like it's a strawberry. Also, Doug said there's no stripe, so I'll pass

When can you get him?

 

[robertloop]

Definitely a strawberry. Careful though. As the fish matures it will kill any shrimp. Otherwise a great fish to have. Traded mine in about 4 years ago! Loved him, but all my shrimp were dead and I wanted more.

I found his rock home and pulled it out......after some time in a bucket he came out and I removed the rock.
