My species/animal is a fish, the Omanensis Dottyback (Pseudochromis omanensis). It is a semi-aggressive species that is reef-safe with caution, admired for its bold coloration, typically a blend of yellow and purple hues, compact size, and rarity in the aquarium trade. Native to the waters around Oman, this species is highly sought after for its vibrant appearance and limited availability.
Males typically display slightly more vivid coloration and may grow marginally larger and more territorial, while females/juveniles tend to be smaller with softer color contrasts and less aggressive behavior. They reach about 3 inches in length and should be housed in aquariums of at least 30 gallons, with extra space and hiding areas if kept with other semi-aggressive fish.
Provide plenty of live rock with crevices and hiding spots, along with some open swimming space. Maintain stable water parameters (salinity ~1.020–1.025, temp ~72–79°F, pH ~8.1–8.4), and ensure a tight-fitting lid, as dottybacks are known jumpers.
Diet should consist of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, finely chopped seafood, and high-quality marine pellets or frozen foods. With proper care and tank conditions, this fish makes a rare and striking addition to the home aquarium, especially for collectors or dottyback enthusiasts.
