Pseudochromis springeri – Springer Dottyback Captive Bred by Proaquatix

Pseudochromis springeri, also known as the Springer Dottyback, is a small reef fish with a deep black body adorned with two electric blue stripes on the head. Native to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, it captivates with its elegant simplicity and peaceful behavior, which is unusual for Pseudochromis.

A Peaceful and Stable Behavior

Unlike other members of its genus, Pseudochromis springeri is one of the least aggressive dottybacks. It easily coexists with other peaceful species and generally poses no problems in a well-structured reef aquarium. It may, however, attack very small shrimps, but ignores corals and invertebrates in most cases.
