Neon dottyback (Pseudochromis aldabraensis) description
‘Dottyback’ is the common name for the family Pseudochromidae, brightly colored reef fish from the Indo-Pacific. The neon dottyback specifically is naturally found in the western Indian Ocean around the Arabian peninsula and all the way down the Indian coast to Sri Lanka.
In fact, the species’scientific name was derived from the coral atoll of Aldabra, which is one of the places where it resides! That being said, the ones you’ll find in your local aquarium store nowadays are usually captive-bred.
The neon dottyback is appreciated as an aquarium fish due to its spectacular coloration. Its body is bright orange, except for a neon blue line that runs along the top of its back up to the head and face. The species grows to a maximum size of around 4”.
