Hey everyone,
Been doing some reading in regards to pairing/breeding dottybacks, specifically Pictichromis diadema. I'm aware of some of the basics (Here's a helpful and quick article if you're curious: https://www.omicsonline.org/open-ac...ubbock-and-randall-1978-2332-2608-1000185.pdf), but I'd also like to hear from anyone who successfully keeps a dottyback pair - I'm not necessarily looking to breed them at this time, but I would love to be able to keep them happy and healthy to a point where they're spawning.
Some Qs I have:
What species of Dottyback do you keep and how long have they been together?
Were they added at the same time?
What size tank are they in & what are the tank mates?
Does your pair spawn or display courtship behaviors?
Open to any and all experiences with a pair of dottybacks, not necessary P. diadema. Any other resources or articles are also welcome, and if anyone has a copy of Martin Moe's "Breeding the Orchid Dottyback", let me know!
Bonus: here's a photobomb pic of the dotty in question lol
