The pseudocheilinus fish hexataenia is a tropical fish native to the warm and shallow waters of the Indian and Pacific Ocean. It is often called six-scratch-time fish due to its beautiful color and its stripes distinctly arranged in six bands along its body.

The pseudocheilinus hexataenia is a relatively small fish, generally reaching about 10 centimeters in length in adulthood. Her dress is mainly blue with bright yellow stripes that extend along her back and flanks. The underside of his body is generally white with black spots scattered on his chest and abdomen. Its dorsal, pelvic and anal fins are also striped in the same way as its body, giving the impression that it is entirely striped.

The pseudocheilinus hexataenia is a gregarious fish and it is often found in large bands in the wild. He prefers shallow waters with coral reefs and rocks where he can hide and eat. It feeds mainly on small invertebrates such as shrimp and crabs, which it captures using its small sharp teeth.

Due to its beautiful color and its peaceful arrangement, the pseudocheilinus hexataenia is a popular choice for salt water aquariums. However, it can be difficult to raise in captivity and requires a well -equipped aquarium with an effective filtration system to maintain clean and clear water. In addition, it is important to provide him with adequate diet and keep it with other fish from his species to prevent him from becoming stressed or sick.
