This vibrantly colored eye catcher is one of the smallest members of the Dottyback family. Yet it does have some of the same fall backs. Never keep with smaller, passive fish, however small groups of Diadem may be kept together if ample hiding places are available . Keep with other large, aggresive tankmates. Use a high quality diet. This one can loose its beautiful color quickly if not fed well. |

The Diadem Dottyback (Pseudochromis diadema) belongs to the family named Pseudochromidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.0 inches in length, the Diadem 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 diadema 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.
