Great fish in the right tank. Beautiful coloration, strong attitude. They do better in bigger tanks. I would not house one in a Nano under 30 gallons with fish other than clowns. Dottybacks need their space.
I have kept as the sole fish.
User experience may very though.

I have an Orchid Dottyback who has always been peaceful. I had to rehome two piece of garbage clownfish for attacking the poor thing.
