    My mother bought my son a Bicolor Dottyback for Christmas on accident. They sold it to her as a Royal Gramma. When she called me and asked if that would be ok, I said it would be fine. However, once she brought it to him, I could tell it was a Bicolor Dottyback instead. It's been pretty aggressive in my otherwise peaceful tank, so I'd like to get it out of there. It's probably about 2.5". I'll sell it for $10. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

    Just a side comment. I had the same thing happen to me years and years ago. Thought that I was getting a Royal Gramma, ended up with a Bicolor Dottyback. Since I didn't know any better back then, I kept calling it "The Royal Pain In The Butt" because it was agressive, even in a decent sized tank. It had "small dog syndrome" where it thought that it was bigger and tougher than anything else in the tank.

    I know exactly what you mean! For some reason, it never messed with my clowns, but with everything else in the tank, it just had to mess with them. Trying to get it out of the tank was a whole other ordeal...lol. There was no way I was catching it in my net because every time I even got close, it dashed into the rocks. I finally got it out by making a water bottle fish trap filled with mysis. I had to watch it for a couple hours, but at last, it swam into the bottle.
