What Dottyback is This?

Yeah this was a super tough shot to take as this guy is really twitchy.

Just thought I might as well throw this Acan shot I got while trying to get the fish.

Yeah don't worry about that. This was my moving tank, and haven't really cared much for maintenance. And i'm switching tanks soon to have a respectable skimmer and other nice equipment.
Surprisingly though ammonia and nitrite read 0 and nitrate is only 5 (Thank you algae!).
calcium 450, etc etc. I'm sure phosphates have to be through the roof though.

Hi...well...

...still from your description it could be Pseudochromis aldabarensis ... or

Pseudochromis cyanotaenia ...

Cheers

hmmm looks closer to this Pseudochromis cyanotaenia but doesn't look quite that dark. I'll try another pic tomorrow.

actually it looks exactly like the blue bar, just no red spot on it and lighter that the picture on the link. I haven't gotten a better picture of it yet. Spent the entire morning trying, s/he is really twitch whenever i would hit the take picture button it would shift away. I was even 40 minutes late for work today.

Hi, I'm not surprised about your description, please have a look here as I believe this will be closer to what you presently have. The fish will gain its full colours as soon as it benefits from better water parameters and environment conditions, which I believe will happen once you move it to your new system and the fish becomes well settled in it. Being a Pseudochromis its likes to hunt for mysys and other small crustaceans, so be sure to provide mysys, krill, cyclopeeze, etc...in small quantities that the fish is able to get. I suggest that you feed it these foods one at the time, meaning, today you feed mysys, tomorow krill, the other day cyclopeeze, etc. so that the fish gets variety every day. Try to feed it some variety of these foods enriched with, like enriched artemia, etc...
