Description

The Electric Indigo Dottyback is a more refined version of the normal Dottyback. Although, the Indigo Dottyback is still a beautiful fish. Instead of displaying one main color like the Indigo Dottyback, the Electric Indigo Dottyback exhibits three different colors. The colors are broken into nearly three equal parts with the bottom being a pristine white, the middle being black, and the top being a vibrant turquoise or blue. Like several other marine fish, the color of the Electric Indigo Dottyback sometimes changes depending on the mood of the fish and its surrounding environment. The best aquarium for this fish is one with plenty of live rock and abundant caves, crevices, and holes for the fish to hide in. It is best to keep only one per aquarium unless the aquarium is considerably large. While other Dottybacks are typically on the aggressive side, the Electric Indigo Dottyback tends to be more docile and peaceful. Of course it depends on the individual fish, but this fish shouldn’t cause problems. If aggression is a concern, add the Electric Indigo Dottyback after your peaceful fish to decrease the chances for issues with territory.

More Information

The Electric Indigo Dottyback is an amazing fish with stunning colors, but one of the best aspects of this fish is that it is captive-bred by ORA. Captive-bred fish such as this one are hardier and more resilient to disease than specimens from the ocean. They are also better able to handle the stress of shipping and better adapted to aquarium life. Unlike wild-caught fish that seem to die randomly when first added, captive-bred fish should have no problem getting comfortable in your aquarium as long as you properly acclimate.

Absolutely Superb

This is a rather late review... Long story short my husband and I got our wish and we are having a baby boy. I decided to surprise him with a gender reveal and worked with AlgaeBarn to order fish and crustaceans that would get along with my other fish. Truth be told I was lost as to what I could order and they helped me every step of the way. I chose to get a blue ORA Electric Indigo Dottyback to reveal the color blue of having a boy. It was the coolest gender reveal ever and AlgaeBarn even helped me over the phone to acclimate the new fish. Benny is his name and he is still going strong. Can't wait for the human baby to get big enough so I can show him the fish and tell him the story. Thank you so much!!!
