Added the Omanensis Dottyback to my 30-gallon reef tank and it has been active and healthy for over six months. It doesn’t eat much and stays near the rockwork. Good for beginners who want a colorful, active fish without too much aggression.
Amanda King –
The fish looks vibrant and fits well in the tank. It’s not overly aggressive, and I haven’t had any issues with other inhabitants. A nice addition to a beginner reef setup.
Gabrielle Knox –
Easy to care for and very active. I noticed it patrolling the edges of the tank and showing interest in live rock. It’s a beautiful fish that adds color without causing stress to others.
