You may or not know that that fish gets 8 inches and will bother/eat other smaller or docile fish and most crustations.

thanks, I did know about the sizer and the hunger for mouth sized morsels, I wasnt sure about the cucumber though.
I am going to have to move my shrimp and hope he's not too hungry for baby snails.

I've never kept a lineatus, but I'd expect any pseudochromis to be extremely territorial and a threat to shrimps, etc.

thanks I figured as much. I just like double checking (especially to see if there is some one out there with fist hand expirience with the actual fish). I have had pseudos before, I just didnt know if this one had any particular traits that the others may lack (like being aggressive and territorial) I figure he will be but you never know.
