A 30 gallon or larger aquarium is essential for keeping the Pseudochromis safely. To prevent aggression, it is important to ensure the aquarium is not overcrowded and to avoid keeping other fish with similar body shapes. In addition, providing numerous hiding places can make the Pseudochromis feel secure and comfortable, which makes them easier to keep in an aquarium. Furthermore, regular water changes are essential to ensure the water quality stays high and the fish remain healthy. Finally, ensure the aquarium is properly lit to simulate the natural habitat of the Pseudochromis.

This diet should be supplemented with a variety of vegetables and fruits to provide essential vitamins and minerals. Additionally, it is recommended to feed the fish small portions multiple times a day to ensure the diet is balanced.

The approximate purchase size for this product is 1″ to 2-1/2″.
