Again, my personal experience was with the purple pseudochromis, but I
can tell you I've seen the orchid dottyback with mellow fish (gobies
and such) in the LFS and observed the tank for a while without the
dottyback showing agressive tendencies... I'm pretty sure it is
species aggressive but there were no conspecifics in that tank. It is
probably also defensive of it's territory so depending on tank size you
may be ok. I would say the gobies should be fine if they are already
established and there is plenty of space (judging by the 75 lbs of live
rock in your tank I would guess yes. But different fish in different
situations react differently. Anyone have personal experience???
Might I suggest a new post with orchid dottyback as the title?

suitable for keeping with real mellow fish, like a Rainford Goby?
