It feels particularly at home in pairs from 150 litres or in groups from 300 litres. While it usually remains peaceful towards other fish species, it shows a certain territorial behaviour towards conspecifics. Caution is advised with small shrimps, such as \u003cem\u003eThor amboinensis\u003c\/em\u003e, as they can be seen as potential prey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluestriped Dottyback can change sex\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike many dootybacks, \u003cem\u003ePseudochromis springeri\u003c\/em\u003e is a bidirectional sex changer. Juveniles are initially female, but the most dominant specimen can change into a male. In groups or pairs, the largest animal usually develops into a male. In order to ensure a balanced social structure, we take care to offer different sizes when selecting the fish - however, we cannot guarantee the sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding \u003cem\u003ePseudochromis springeri\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis species is not picky and accepts a variety of foods. Frozen and live food such as Artemia and Mysis are on the menu, but flake and granulated food are also well accepted.
