Flash Back Gramma Purple Stripe Dottyback Pictichromis Diadema The Flash Back Gramma, also known as the Purple Stripe Dottyback or Diadem Pseudochromis (Pictichromis diadema), is a stunning and vibrant addition to any marine aquarium. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, this small basslet species typically grows to around 6cm in length. The Purple Stripe Dottyback is considered a semi-aggressive fish, and its temperament can vary depending on the individual and the tank environment. While some owners report limited aggression, such as stare-downs with other tank mates, others have experienced more problematic behavior, including fin nipping and potential conflicts with smaller fish. As such, it is recommended for more experienced aquarists who can properly manage its territorial nature. In terms of feeding, the Purple Stripe Dottyback is an omnivore and will readily accept a varied diet of meaty foods, algae, and prepared marine fish foods. To maintain its vibrant coloration, a diet rich in carotenoids is ideal. Suitable tank mates for the Purple Stripe Dottyback include other moderately-sized, peaceful fish species that can hold their own, such as clownfish, gobies, and larger basslets. It is important to provide ample hiding spots and territories to minimize potential conflicts. For optimal care, the Purple Stripe Dottyback requires a well-established marine aquarium with stable water parameters. Ideal water conditions include a pH of 8.1-8.4, temperature of 72-82°F, and specific gravity of 1.020-1.025.Above images for illustration purposes only.
