Scientific name: Labracinus
Labracinus is a genus of fish in the family Pseudochromidae, commonly known as Dottybacks. These small, colorful fish are popular in the reef aquarium hobby for their vibrant hues and bold personalities. They are generally hardy and can adapt to a variety of tank conditions, but they can be territorial and may show aggression towards other small fish. It's important to provide plenty of hiding spaces and consider tankmates carefully. Labracinus species are carnivorous, feeding on a diet of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and finely chopped seafood.
