Sunrise Dottyback
Pseudochromis flavivertex
Origin: Western Indian Ocean – Red Sea, Gulf of Aden
Size: Up to 7 cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Carnivore – feeds on small crustaceans, worms, and meaty frozen foods; will accept pellets and flakes.
Care Level: Easy – hardy and adaptable.
Aggression: Semi-aggressive – territorial, especially toward similar species and small fish.
Captive-Bred Available: ✅ Yes
Notes:
The Sunrise Dottyback is a brilliant yellow-and-blue fish with a bold personality. Best suited for reef tanks with plenty of rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial disputes. Tank mates should be chosen carefully, avoiding other dottybacks unless the system is large.
Why We Like It:
Compact, hardy, and vividly coloured, the Sunrise Dottyback brings a flash of brightness and attitude to the reef. Its small size and striking appearance make it an excellent choice for hobbyists wanting a lively, resilient reef fish.
