Bicolor Pseudochromis
Pseudochromis paccagnellae

Identification: Often confused with the Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto), the False-Gramma can Be easily distinguished by the sudden division between the two body colours. In fact, they are separated by a thin white line, but this can be very difficult to see on some specimens

Maximum Length: 2 - 3.1"

Origin: Western Pacific

Minimum tank size: 30 Gallon

Behavior: In common with the Royal Gramma, it prefers plenty of rocky retreats and dislikes being stranded in open water for long periods. Although the False-Gramma cannot be described as the best behaved fish in the marine fishtank, any tendency to nip at other species is usually limited to those that have similar coloration, habits or body shape. Therefore, it is essential to limit the aquarium to one specimen only.

Feeding and diet: Almost any marine fare is taken enthusiastically; particularly brine shrimp and finely chopped foods.

Reef Compatibility: Excellent

Cautions: Keep only one per tank.
