The Arabian Bluelined Dottyback is a beautiful and striking fish, but this one has the same bad attitude and destructive behavior as the rest of its family. Never keep with smaller fish or other Dottybacks. Keep with other large, aggresive tankmates. Be warned however, some Dottybacks can and will take down larger fish that it can't swallow whole by beating against the aquarium decor. |

The Arabian Bluelined Dottyback (Pseudochromis aldabraensis) is sometimes called a Neon Dottyback. It belongs to the family named Pseudochromidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Arabian Bluelined Dottyback is aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pseudochromis aldabraensis should not be housed in a tank less than 20 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area and plenty of hiding places.
