    Was at a lfs store and saw a splendid dottyback, any experience with these guys.

    Tank is 120g with sailfin, Niger trigger, flamehawk, six line, clown, ands magnificient foxface. All have been in tank without additions probably 8mo to a year. Tried to add a flameback angel bout 4 months ago and think the trigger stressed him out to death.

    It should be fine provided you have enough rockwork.They can definitely defend themselves but I would be a little worried about the trigger eating it.Any newcomer will be harassed.:cry:

    They are very hardy and you have other mean fish so he should be o.k.
    You always run the risk of upsetting the balance(if you have balance) when adding a new fish.
