It seems sometimes when you remove exotic coloring, the more peaceful a fish can become. Unlike most of its family members, this Dottyback has a duller appearance. However, it is also one of the more peaceful of the Dottybacks. Can be kept with other small, unaggresive fish and even male female pairs are typically fine together. The best idea is to introduce this one to the aquarium last. |

The Bluelined Dottyback (Pseudochromis cyanotaenia) is sometimes called a Surge Dottyback or a Bluebarred Dottyback. It belongs to the family named Pseudochromidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.0 inches in length, the Bluelined Dottyback is generally passive 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 cyanotaenia 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.
