Frank, is that still the latest word? I read someplace that that is not the case with all Dotty's. I don't remember where I read it:rolleyes:.

I have an Arabian alone in a 29g and was thinking of trying to make a pair. But this fish attacks anything that moves! It's hard to believe one could add another dotty without a fight to the death:eek1:.

Oh boy. This FAMA article indicates differences in sexual dimorphism for a few Dotty's.

The more I read the conflicting info I'm finding:bounce1:
