fish id please
ok, I've had this guy for over a year. Was sold to me as an orchid dottyback or strawberry dottyback, but I don't think that's what it is. It's pretty big, about 7-8 inches long. It was billed as an aggressive fish as it was in J and L's back tank, but it's pretty tame in my tank because my sohal keeps him in place.

My first impression when I saw the pictures was Oblique Dottyback. But you said it is 7" to 8" long. That rules out a lot of dottybacks. The only dottyback that I can think of reaching that size is fire-tail dottyback. Good thing you have something keeping it in check. Dottyback that size can do some damage

yeah, he's more like the fire-tail dottyback. I sometimes think he looks more like a grouper than a dottyback.

The closest I've found is an Australian multi colored dottyback. Mine looks pretty much like those, however they say that a mature Australian Dottyback grows to 4", whereas mine is closer to 8". Maybe a mutant?

Oblique Pseudochromis
http://www.qualitymarine.com/Product...s/Oblique-Male Island Pets had some for sale a year+ ago. They sold it as the Oblique Gramma. Also sometimes called the Oblique Dottyback or Oblique-lined Dottyback. Yours may be a super-sized version. It does happen. I had an African flameback dwarf-dwarf angel that should only grow to the size of a Cherub, but mine was about the size of a large Flame or Lemonpeel when I sold it.

I guess that's where my 2 blue damsels went that I just added to the tank 2 weeks ago. Never saw them again.
