what's your favorie Pseudochromis?

[H.Tanaka]

Sheol,

This is Pseudochromis striatus; Striped Dottyback, from Ishigaki Island, southern Ryukyu Islands (35mm). A smaller species and it is active and eats well.

The reddish pink dottyback may be described by Senou next year. I only send the specimen to him.

Dr. Tanaka,

I hate to say this, but..
That is such a cute fish. That somehow doesn't seem appropriate for a Pseudochromis but what can you do? Its eyes don't even have the usual dottyback look.
I doubt I'll see one in the states though.
Many thanks for the pic!

Sincerely,
Matthew

Thinking about adding a Orchid (P. fridmani) to my 29g? Would he be alright with a clown (ocellaris) and a sixline wrasse?

[Bax]

I don;t think the OD and the wrasse would work in a 29. My first OD was in a 26 bow and it brutalized a candy hog, like instantly. The first one in will protect its turf. And that tank is probably too small to remove the wrasse for a bit then introduce them at the same time.

[Sheol]

I second Bax. I'd not add the wrasse if it were me. Sixlines can be quite territorial. And in a tank that small, even a peaceful (relatively) Orchid Dotty will have issues. A damsel & a P. fridmani might work..

...And of course, to Dottybacks Wrasses are egg predators, thus mortal enemies.
