About this fish
About this fish
Aldabraensis (Neon) Pseudo; C.B. – Pseudochromis aldabraensis is a marine dottyback, a small, active fish suited to a saltwater aquarium. It is identified as Pseudochromis aldabraensis. General dottyback care guidance applies; this listing does not establish special care or color traits unique to a named variety. Its territorial behavior is important to consider when choosing tankmates and planning the aquarium community.
Features:
- An active, territorial fish that benefits from places to shelter and retreat within the aquarium.
- Best considered for a community with appropriately robust tankmates; small, peaceful fish may be at risk from its aggressive behavior.
- Carnivorous and generally fed meaty marine foods. Offer a varied diet appropriate for a predatory fish.
- May be kept in a reef aquarium with caution: dottybacks can prey on small ornamental crustaceans, so compatibility with invertebrates is not assured.

- Care level: Moderate; general guidance for dottybacks, with attention to territorial behavior and tankmate selection.
- Temperament: Territorial and potentially aggressive, particularly toward smaller or less assertive fish.
