Hi all,

What has your experience been with captive bred orchid dottyback with peppermint shrimps? I have two peppermint shrimp and im worried the dottyback might pose a threat

Thanks
 
It’s a possibility. I have had them together in a large tank with plenty of cover and no problems.
 
I have had orchid/indigo dottybacks and peppermint shrimps with no issues but I have a heavy heavy hand with feeding my tank so I am guessing that helps a lot.
 
I have a pair of fridmani's in my 66 gallon tank. I've added a half dozen peppermints and I still see them occasionally.
