Yellow-tail Dottyback, Pseudochromis xanthochir

Anyone have any experience with this little guy? I picked one up for my nano--he stays around 2-3 inches, and will eat meaty prepared foods--and snails :rolleyes: Very cute little fish, doesn't seem to bother the limpets or any of the corals and worms in the tank.

I have one in my tank and the only thing i have noticed is he likes Algea.. he has an awesome personality.. Likes to come halfway out of the water and make a fountain by spitting the water.. But he also likes to jump.. Ended up in my overflow yesterday..but i got him out..

Yeah, I figured he was a jumper. My tank is completely covered, so he should be safe from that. I haven't seen him go after any algae, though--he seems more interested in meaty foods. I'll make sure to offer him some algae.

He ate all the grass algea i had grown.. and he was eating the brown algea that hads settled on my powerheads.. I haven't fed any meaty items to my fish.. They guy i got them from only fed them small pellett food.. but i am thinking about starting because my leather is about 1 foot high and i have heard he is a carnivore... as well as the royal gramma..
I might have to start covering it.. I know Hoome Depot has the covers for florencent lights that i have heard some people use...
