that picture is a purple pseudochromis. the mean cousin of the orchid dotyback. Petco sells real captive bred orchid dotyback for a good price.

Which Petco?

orchids are longer and more slender looking. purples are stockier looking. orchids have a black slash through their eyes. and as mentioned, orchids are pretty peaceful, at least for a dottyback, purples will have you tearing your tank down to get it out

any place that extensively carries captive bred fish should have orchids

Friendly fyi, some places will sell them under their other name, Pseudochromis fridmani.

Any of them that carry saltwater usually have them for $39.99.gotta be careful though and carefully inspect their fish for ich before you buy.
