The temperment of this one differs from individual to individual, depending on size and age. So, mix with caution. Typically never keep with smaller, passive fish, however a mated pair may be kept together if ample hiding places are available . Keep with other large, aggresive tankmates. Monitor this on as it grows older, large individuals can become quite territorial and a potential threat. |

The Yellow Dottyback (Pseudochromis fuscus) is sometimes called a Dusky Dottyback. It belongs to the family named Pseudochromidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Yellow Dottyback is semi-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 fuscus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 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.
