What is this fish?
I bought a new soft coral rock yesterday as they were 1/2 price (and you can never have too much) and low and behold about 2 hours later I find a new fish in my tank!! He must have been in a hole in the rock that kept water in it. I didn't get the rock home for about a hour so he is a pretty lucky guy. Anyone know what kind of fish he is? He's bright purple and a bit shy.

That is one of the nicest hitchers I've seen. Congrats, scores like that are rare. I only seem to get pests.
|
Thanks, I figured it was quite the score!

They are most often referred to as Orchid Dottybacks. I'm going to add one to my tank soon. :)

The Magenta dottyback and the Orchid Dottyback look much the same, but are very different. The Orchid Dottyback is much more peaceful. I had a Magenta that terrorized every fish in the tank that was the same size or smaller. Keep a close eye on that guy. |

Nice hitcher,
where did you score that price in K-town? still halfprice here is double elsewhere. but you got a nice fish out of it.. thats for sure... |
That pet store across the hwy from PetCetera has 1/2 price soft corals, paid $30! Our prices are a bit much here hey, especially when something eats your Dori fish in the middle of the night :cry:
I am setting a trap tonight to see what is hiding in my tank! |
be careful what you put in your tank from total pet. they are not the best tank keepers around. and they are the highest priced i have ever seen.
i saw a cleaner shrimp for $72.00 there once. :S Something ate your regal tang? ouch that sucks. any congrats again on the new addition. |
