You may talk with Az about dottybacks...
IMO, they are beatiful, but nasty guys.

Ohh okk well that site there said it eats ordamental shrimps and harasses small fish to death. Im sure it wouldnt be a smart choice for a small tank. BUt every site i went on never said anything about them eating shrimp? werid...
