Please Help Me Identify This Guy

Post by AngelaEnkeli »

Someone gave me this fish because they didn't want him anymore. Lately he's been acting strange and I need to ID him before I can figure out if his behavior is normal or signs of stress/illness.
Thanks for your help.

One thing to be aware of with these type of Dorads, it is more than likely they will predate upon smaller tank mates during the night.

I'd definitely say the redness is very unusual for this fish!
