Item Details

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.
