Flashback dottyback in aquarium Stunning, but highly territorial. If you want a gentler version of the psychedelic colors, then the more docile royal gramma would be a better fit.
Pictichromis diadema is the first dottyback to be kept in captivity. They are widely sold for the aquarium trade. A very skittish addition to any aquarium, one should be wary to keep this species with other fish of similar sizes; if the Pictichromis diadema is the bigger, he will attack them, whereas if he is the smaller, he will hide most of the time.
The dottybacks are a family, Pseudochromidae, of fishes which were formerly classified in the order Perciformes, but this has been revised and the family is regarded as of uncertain affinities, or incertae sedis within the Ovalentaria, a clade within the Percomorpha. Around 152 species belong to this family.
