Notes: Although the Fridmani Pseudochromis is probably the most passive member of its genus it will still defend its shelter from intruders. Unlike many other pseudochromis the Fridmani can be kept as a pair, or small group in an aquarium of 125 gallons or more. All specimens should be introduced at the same time. Pseudochromis do best in a reef aquarium with plenty of live rock to provide hiding places and create separate territories.
The Fridmani Pseudochromis will not bother coral, clams, or sessile invertebrates, but may eat very small ornamental shrimp, and problematic bristleworms.
Offer it a mixed diet of carnivore preparations, mysid shrimp, brine shrimp, and vitamin-enriched foods to help it keep its brilliant color.
