A small fish with a ton of attitude. This one generally cannot be kept with other small fish, red fish with the same basic shape, or other kinds of dottybacks. If you wish to have more than one, then still keep only one male with one or more females. Do so, however, only in a much larger tank. |

The Oblique-lined Dottyback (Cypho purpurescens) belongs to the family named Pseudochromidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Oblique-lined 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. Cypho purpurescens 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.
