Description
The McCullochi Pseudochromis, commonly known as the McCullochi Dottyback, is a stunning and colorful marine fish that adds a pop of color to reef aquariums. Its vibrant pink body, complemented by yellow and blue accents, makes it a visually appealing choice for aquarists looking to enhance the aesthetics of their tanks.
This species is known for its semi-aggressive nature, especially towards similar-sized or shaped fish. Providing ample hiding spots and territories within the aquarium is crucial for maintaining peace among tank mates. A minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended to ensure adequate space for swimming and establishing territories.
As a carnivore, the McCullochi Pseudochromis thrives on a diet rich in meaty foods. High-quality frozen or live foods, such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp, should be provided regularly to keep this fish healthy and vibrant. With proper care, this dottyback can be a lively and beautiful addition to your marine ecosystem.
