Neon Dottyback - Good with shrimp?

[DevIouS]

Just purchased one & have yet to put it in my tank.
I read the description on SaltWaterFish & it stated to monitor with shrimp.
I have 2 large cleaners & 3 peps.
Anyone have experience?

From Reefkeeping.com : "A Pseudochromis aldabraensis giving us a glimpse of its magnificient coloration. It is often a victim of impulse buying, thanks to its coloration. If they didn't research it first, the keeper will quickly learn this fish will kill most shrimp and small fish."

All Dottybacks are very aggressive and will most likely go after any small crabs, worms or shrimp. If the shrimp are large enough the Dottyback may leave them alone but it's usally not worth the chance.

My Orchaird Dottyback have never bother any of my shrimp and doesn't go near my Pistol shrimp at all.

Thanks Dean. You saved my shrimp.
This was definitely an "impulse buy."

Cool colors too. I rather not risk it....then it'll be a pain to get her out.
