Orchid dottybacks (Pseudochromis fridmani) are known to be one of the least aggressive dottybacks. I've kept them before with no issues. Strawberry (Magenta) dottybacks however are terrors.

Aggressiveness rating: 2

I have only kept Neon's and Sunrise.

I am quite ignorantly grouping them in with the rest of their kin. I just know I wasn't very impressed the day I saw him attack and drag a cleaner shrimp across the tank.

Thanks Sam

I have 6 orchids and they are the perfect citizens. They don't bother the fire shrimp but the shrimp are quite large and were in the tank first

Wow Marie. I would love to see that

They are so peaceful in fact that when I added 2 juvenile royal grammas 8 months later there was no fighting (except for some initial arguments over who's cave is who's) and now they hang out within inches of each other



*edit* I should add though for any one reading, that this is an 8ft tank :mrgreen:
