I don't feed much frozen foods anymore to this tank. Almost exclusively pellets, nori, and flakes. Here's another pic you can see all the tiny spheres. My understanding is that dottybacks lay eggs in clumps of filamentous material and looks like a gelatinous mass when done.

What pellets are you feeding you dottyback? I recently bought one and it's not eating the pallets. I was wondering if they are large for it 1mm!

A variety of pellets, Xtreme, NLS, TDO, they are all 1mm and I have never had a problem with them not eating.
