INDIGO Dottyback

[griMReefer]

(P fridmanii X P sankeyii) does anyone have this in their reef and if so does it really lives up to the expected mellower disposition (compared to other bright color dotties)?

I've seen them at Petco and they don't seem any less aggressive than the two Dottybacks that they come from. Then again the Friedman isn't that aggressive as some of the other Dottyback and the sankeyii isn't a very aggressive Dottyback to start with.

grim,

You are going to see the indigo more often since ORA is captive breeding them - not sure how much merit this has, but I think the agressiveness get's a little lost in the gene pool if you know what I am saying -

They've been breeding Fridmani, Sankeyi, Sunrise, Aldabraensis and and a few others, not to mention Clown fish, for years now and none of them are any less aggressive than ones coming in from the wild.

What you do see it that they're not as colorful as the ones from the wild. A lot don't have the full marking, as their wild counter parts do, or the colors are very drab.
