I have a magenta dottyback in my 10G nano, who was very well behaved up until I added what was meant to be my final fish - an orange firefish.
But, the dottyback decided he didn't like him, and made his life hell for the short time he was in my tank, ripping his fins, taking chunks out of him, it was awful I guess he just thought he looked like him, similar shape/size. I turned the lights off, intending to take the firefish back the next day, but sadly he'd jumped out of a TINY hole in my lid during the night (now fixed). It was a very sad couple of days.
I really love the firefish, and I'm now considering trading in the dottyback at some point, for a Royal Gramma, and getting a firefish again.
My question is: Will the Gramma also become aggressive towards the firefish?
