The Double Striped Dottyback (Pseudochromis bitaeniatus), also known as the Slender Dottyback is a unique and stunning addition to any aquarium. Having a mainly grayish pink/blue body with a bright yellow head, and 2 black lines going down their body. 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 Double Striped 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.
