Pictichromis is a genus of small, brightly colored fish belonging to the family Pseudochromidae, commonly known as dottybacks. These fish are popular in the reef aquarium hobby due to their vibrant hues and relatively small size, making them suitable for a variety of tank setups. They are known for their bold behavior and can be territorial, so it's important to provide ample hiding spaces and consider tank mates carefully. Pictichromis species are generally hardy and can adapt to captive conditions if their specific needs are met.
