Dottybacks are a small, colorful family of hardy fish. They'll do well in most aquariums but do tend to be pretty fearless. Rarely the initial aggressor, they'll fight other larger fish without hesitation to defend themselves.
While dottybacks will ignore coral in the aquarium, they will eat smaller shrimp and invertebrate.
