Default Dottyback and Firefish compatible??

Sorry...my first post mentioned a Orchid Dottyback.....i realize that its not....
it's a bicolor dottyback....im assuming this is the same as a royal dottyback too as they look identical.

Will a firefish be ok with a bicolor/royal dottyback then in a 46 gallon reef tank with lots of rock?

thanks for any help

No the firefish cannot tolerate the territorial aggression of the dottybacks.

go with the royal gramma instead of the bicolor pseudochromis- probably easier to find as well- thats what i did. very peaceful fish... timid but peaceful

I had a Purple Pseudocromis and it was fine with the firefish... although the royal gramma i got after the pseudocromis jumped would prolly be a better choice.
