This fish has color and character. It also seems to be quite curious about human onlookers. Although it likes to hide out in caves or crevices a lot of the time, it will readily come out and stare down anyone who approaches the tank. It has a very captivating, human-like stare.
This is my husband's favorite fish in my tank. I have to say that he is lots of fun to have, because he loves to look out and see what is going on outside of the tank. When I first added him to my tank he was kind of shy, but that is no longer so. One thing I have to keep an eye on is him picking on the other fish. He sometimes feels that he is the biggest fish in the tank even though he is one of my smallest additions. That aside I would definitely recommend this fish to anyone.
I have a bicolor pseudochromis in my reef aquarium, although it is aggressive over its territory and will nip other fish it loves our yellow watchman goby. The two of them are buddies.
I got this fish about a week ago. It is a little jerk! It is in a 54 gallon tank with 2 clowns, 2 chromis, and 1 damsel. It chases the other fish all the time(though has not hurt them) and is greedy with food. I must admit that it is very colorful and nice looking though.
