dottyback

Get a water bottle. Cut the top offflip it over so it looks like a funnel in. Use something hot to melt little holes in the top edge of two pieces and put tooth picks in them or tie it together with floss. I used tooth picks and had a piece of floss to pull it out of the tank. put some food in it and sink it to bottom of tank. helps if you dont feed for a day. http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-of...-order-birthday-presents-today-126302-18.html another pic therelittle better

 

i have a pair of orchid dotty backs. they are peaceful fish. my helfrichi firefish is more aggressive than them.

i had a pair in my first tank years back they also were well behaved. i recommend the tank raised orchid dotty backs in pairs. they are beautiful and peaceful and have never went after shrimps or bothered any corals. they do go after bristle worms, this i have seen.

 

I will give it some time...like i said. so far so good.

 

I have only kept Orchid dottybacks due to their temperament. I put a sunrise dotty in a tank one for 2 day and ripped it apart to get him out. Orchid's never bother anything including shrimp.

 

+ to however many posted above. I have a bicolor in my tank, and thus no shrimp, he won't allow them, and he's not a huge fan of new fish. But I like him, and my tank is stocked, and I'm fine with no shrimp so he stays, But I don't rec them at all!
