What kinda fish is this?

[Phillipjlael]

They said a royal gramma or whatever but I think not. I'd like a positive id before he goes into the tank. I'd say a wrasse of some sort. Thank

Yes thank you. Now they sold him for 16.99. Is that good or bad? Will he go ok I a 46 gallon bowfront with coral beauty two clowns six line wrasse diamond goby cleaner shrimp coral bandit shrimp?

i think he will be ok IMO as for price i dont really no havent really seen them for sale tbh.

Probably will be, careful Dottybacks in my experince can be quite protective over there territory but! I think with your stocklist he wont bother anyone.

Royal Gramma? lol. Well it's still a nice looking fish and I would say that's a fair price.

Yea lol thats pretty much what I told the guy was lol. He's like it's a royal gramma and he was pointing at the picture of the gramma. I was like ummm no it's not. And he was like I'm the manager I know what it is. I really don't like buying fish with out knowing what it is but my gf was like maybe it costs more then the gramma and maybe you can get a deal. Lol so I went for it..... Would have killed her if it turned out to be a 2 foot fish!!

Sometimes ppl at the LFS can be so clueless

It is a neon dottyback. Not many Lfs sell them nice fish though we have a Friedman dottyback he cost us £48 nice fish and they like to hide alot ours comes out when it's feed time and that's it..
