  • Description
  • The Purple Dottyback is a stunning purple and pink small reef fish some Pacific Ocean reefs. Purple Dottybacks can make a great addition to your reef tank with a great splash of color.

    Purple Dottybacks only grow to around 3 inches and need a tank of around 29 gallons to do well. The Purple Dottyback is also great for reef tanks, since they will not bother coral, inverts or other fish. Being so laid back Purple Dottybacks need a lot of areas to hide from more aggressive fish in your tank. The best solution for hiding places are established rocks. Purple Dottybacks might be aggressive and territorial to other similar species in smaller tanks.

    The Purple Dottyback has a body that is solid bright pink. In some areas they have darker spots which appear to be more purple in color.
