Well, I'm looking to add a pair of dottyback's to my broodstock system. I currently have 4 pairs of clowns (ocellaris, clarkii, orange skunk, and Onyx Percula). I'm attempting to pair of at least one breeding pair of Bangaii Cardinalfish. After a pair of dottyback's, my next pair will be another pair of cardinals.

So... Which dottyback is your favorite? Right now, my favorites are Orchid (Pseudochromis fridmani), Sunrise (pseudochromis flavivertex), or Splendid (Manonichthys splendens). I have a feeling the Orchid dottyback fish that I raise will be easier to sell, but Sunrise dottyback's are pretty, and not quite as common.

I'm leaning towards trying the Sunrise dottyback, but if someone wants to convince me of some other dottyback (even one I didn't mention), my ears are open. :D

I don't know.... I've got space for 10 pairs :D ..... so.... eventually, 10 pairs.

Haven't done it yet. I keep getting side tracked with other things.
 
I voted :)
Orchid - based on the premise that the orchid is (supposedly - I have no first hand experience with this) the least aggressive.
