The Bicolor Pseudochromis, also called the Bicolor Dottyback or Royal Dottyback, is two bold colors; the anterior portion is purple and the posterior portion is bright yellow.
A 30 gallon or larger aquarium should be provided. The Bicolor Pseudochromis will not be intimidated by other fish and will defend its territory against fish two to three times its size. It will also eat ornamental shrimp and is a predator of nuisance bristleworms.
The diet should consist of meaty foods including brine shrimp and prepared frozen foods.
Hope this helps

LOL...I have one with a cleaner shrimp...but it is in a 225g...
Maybe you'll get some more opinions...I really don't know what the problem would be...except the tank is 26g's

Hi there,
I don't see why you could not add one.

^^ Agreed. I'd say you could add one BUT I'd watch your shrimp as he may decide to take them out one day

Both the dottyback and the gramma can get very territorial and nasty over time. If you have any inclination to add other fish (which you may not since it is not a large tank), you may wish to consider it before adding a gramma or dottyback.

I have one maybe a little bigger then an inch with 2 very large cleaner shrimp and it leaves them alone. But he does chase my fire goby and large chromis around. You should be fine.

Do you like gobies? I have a rusty goby in my 29g and I really like it a lot...or you can get a green one...
Or some type of blennie...like a tailspot...or a midas blennie ...although the gobies are cheaper...
