notes
   The Spot Lined Flasher Wrasse is found in the wild typically near the base of a steep outer reef slopes so try and replicate this habitat as much as possible in your home aquarium.   
overview
  
The Spot Lined Flasher Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus lineopunctatus) is sometimes called a Lined Spot Flasher Wrasse or a Dot-and-Dash Flasher Wrasse. It belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.6 inches in length, the Spot Lined Flasher Wrasse is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pseudocheilinus lineopunctatus 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 plenty of hiding places and keep 3 or more.
