$5 or a trade for a frag of some coral that I do not have. Eats everything your throw in the tank. Its a Strawberry/Purple Pseudochromis - Pseudochromis porphyreus

...

most pseudos are semi-aggressive, meaning they are territorial, also they like ornamental shrimp so just be careful.... But other wise from experience they dont bother bigger fish than themselves...

I'd leave neg feedback for not answering the question crox. You are asking about the personality of the specific animal not general info on the fish like you got and the sarcastic answer that followed.

No just a, how did you put it, stupid cop putting his 2 cents in.

I said nothing funny. You should get negative feedback for your sarcastic answer and lack of information about the specific fish you are trading.

thank you Fred. Great detailed article. For those of you too lazy to click on the link i have copied and pasted the stuff everyone wants to know

Like most pseudochromines, this species does well in the reef aquarium. It is a small fish with a rock-associated lifestyle, so you may not see it as often as some other species. It generally mixes well with other fish, providing they are not too aggressive. However, since it is territorial and potentially aggressive towards similar-looking species, it would be best to keep just a single specimen. Don't house it alongside the similar, but more peaceful, P. fridmani... Sometimes the odd fish will become hyperdominant, so this is a species that needs keeping an eye on.

Mark I know how to click on a link and I know that usually Pseudo can be very territorial. I wasn't asking a generic question about that kind of fish but I wanted to know if yours is an exception to the rule.:bigeyes:
