Striped Dottyback Information – Also known as Sankey’s Dottyback, the black and white Striped Dottyback comes from the shallower areas of the Red Sea. Many breeders are now tank raising this dottyback which should lower the price tag which is currently between $20-$30 USD.<\/p>\n

They live in small groups in the wild so it may be possible to keep more than one in your tank if you introduce them at the same time. They are one of the least aggressive of the dottybacks so keeping multiples may be acceptable. Hiding places in the form of live rock or caves of some kind are recommended to make them feel more secure.<\/p>\n

This Dottyback is primarily carnivorous so you should try to supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as shrimp or\u00a0Krill<\/a>. They will go after vitamin enriched flakes and small pellets. We’ve never witnessed it, but it has been reported that they go after bristle worms too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
