Strawberry dottyback compatibility guide.

Strawberry dottybacks can be kept in aquariums as small as 30 litres if they are the only fish. If kept with other fish they are best kept in tanks of 100 litres or more. As a general rule it’s best to only keep one Dottyback per aquarium, even if the tank is large. As with most small reef fish they may jump if startled, so a tight fitting lid without gaps is recommended.
