Pictichromis Dottybacks are small, hardy, easy to feed and are known for their bright colors. They should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work with cracks, caves and crevices should be provided for hiding. Pictichromis Dottyback may pick at and consume benthic invertebrates. A diet of meaty based foods a should be provided multiple times daily. Although Pictichromis are known to be territorial and aggressive towards other fish they are also quite shy. Pictichromis should be housed with larger fish that are not easily harassed. Although considered an easy fish to take care of if not well maintained they may lose their colouration.
The Royal Dottyback shows a bright sunny yellow back half of its body and a purple to fuschia front half of its body, and a blue ring around its eyes. They can grow up to 8cm in length.
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 150L or larger for this species.
