A 50-gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of hiding places is essential for providing an ideal environment for the Pseudochromis. The fish should be kept with larger, moderately aggressive tankmates to ensure it is not outcompeted for food and space. It is a great addition to a reef system, but it should be noted that it may consume small ornamental shrimp. Furthermore, these fish do best in established tanks that have been running for at least six months. With the right tank parameters and companions, the Pseudochromis can be a hardy and rewarding addition to any aquarium.
