Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The cultured Neon Aldabraensis Dottyback has a lot of attitude for such a little fish. Due to their aggression, we recommend that they be housed singly and with other fish that have similar temperaments. They prefer an environment that has lots of live rock to hide in, however, the live rock can bring out their aggression because they become territorial of their hidden dwelling. Providing a well varied diet of meaty foods will enhance the health of the dottyback, while also deterring them from unduly harassing other fish or consuming desirable invertebrates. They are known to snack on pesky bristle worms and small mantis shrimp, which is very beneficial. This dottyback has an adult size of only 4", which makes them ideal for smaller aquariums. The Neon Aldabraensis Dottyback is slender and has lovely colorations of orange, black and neon blue stripes.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
