The Southeast Asian Blackstripe Dottyback, also known as Pseudochromis perspicillatus, is a unique and stunning addition to any aquarium. With its black horizontal band on the upper body and dark eye band from the snout to the gill area, this fish is sure to catch the eye of any hobbyist. This species is relatively rare in the trade, making it a highly sought-after fish for those looking for a unique addition to their collection.

While the Southeast Asian Blackstripe Dottyback may be visually striking, it is important to note that it is a highly territorial and aggressive fish. As it can get to 5 inches it requires a tank size of at least 50 gallons and should only be housed with larger, robust fish that can hold their own against its aggression. However, with proper care and feeding, this species can thrive in a fish-only aquarium with rocky hiding places and a meaty diet consisting of marine shrimp and crustaceans. Overall, the Southeast Asian Blackstripe Dottyback is a captivating and fascinating fish that can make a great addition to a well-maintained aquarium for experienced hobbyists.
