A 55 gallon or larger aquarium with many hiding places is the ideal environment to house the Pseudochromis. This fish should be accompanied by other moderately aggressive fish that are larger than it, and it will also eat ornamental shrimp. It is important to ensure that the aquarium is large enough to provide enough space for all the fish to swim and hide. Additionally, it is important to provide adequate hiding places for the Pseudochromis to feel secure.

The diet consists of a variety of meaty foods, including brine shrimp and prepared frozen foods. These items provide a balanced and nutritious meal that can help promote overall health.
