Sunrise Dottyback

Pseudochromis flavivertex

Reef Safe with Caution

The Sunrise Dottyback, scientifically known as Pseudochromis flavivertex, is a striking species known for its vibrant yellow and electric blue coloration. This eye-catching fish features a bright yellow body that transitions into a deep blue along its dorsal ridge, making it a visually stunning addition to any reef aquarium. While its colors are captivating, the Sunrise Dottyback can be territorial and may exhibit aggressive behavior towards smaller or more passive tankmates. It thrives in a well-maintained tank with plenty of rockwork and hiding spots, where it can establish its territory. Best kept with similarly assertive tankmates, this species adds both color and character to the aquarium, making it a popular choice for aquarists who appreciate dynamic and vibrant fish. However, careful consideration should be given to its tankmates to maintain a peaceful and balanced environment.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
