One of the smaller Dottybacks, but actually one of the most aggresive of this family. Never keep with smaller fish or other Dottybacks. Keep with other large, aggresive tankmates. Be warned however, some Dottybacks can and will take down larger fish that it can't swallow whole by beating against the aquarium decor and shred them into pieces. |

The Australian Dottyback (Ogilbyina novaehollandiae) is sometimes called a Multicolored Dottyback. It belongs to the family named Pseudochromidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Australian Dottyback is aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Ogilbyina novaehollandiae should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area and plenty of hiding places.
