The Longfin Indigo Dottyback is a Captive-Bred hybrid fish, known for its striking bluish-purple body, black stripes inherited from the Striped Dottyback, and a more docile temperament than many other dottyback species. Growing to about 3 inches, it thrives in reef-safe saltwater aquariums of 30 gallons or more, requiring a diet of meaty foods like mysis shrimp, and benefits from live rock for hiding. 

Physical Characteristics

• Hybrid Origin:A cross between the Orchid Dottyback (Pseudochromis fridmani) and the Striped Dottyback (Pseudochromis sankeyi). 
• Coloration:Features an indigo or bluish-purple body with distinctive horizontal black stripes. 
• Size:Grows up to 3 inches in length. 

Behavior & Temperament

• Docile:Generally more peaceful and docile compared to other dottyback species. 
• Territorial:May exhibit some territorial behavior, especially towards other dottybacks or similarly shaped fish, but is considered reef-safe. 
• Active:Can be shy initially but becomes bolder in its aquarium, darting in and out of live rock and appearing more visible during feeding. 

Diet

• Carnivorous:A carnivore that readily accepts a variety of meaty foods. 
• Suggested Foods:Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, krill, and other small meaty foods. 

Aquarium Requirements

• Tank Size:A minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended for a single fish or pair. 
• Live Rock:Requires plenty of live rock with caves and crevices to provide hiding places. 
• Tankmates:Can be kept in a community tank but may require thoughtful selection of other inhabitants due to their territorial nature.
