Info
Pseudocheilinus tetrataenia, Schultz, 1960
Sensitive to transport like all Paracheilinus species. Often gets spots in the first days. When these are over, the animal is not difficult to keep. As far as we know, it does not get along at all with the six-striped wrasse.
This one, in our opinion, cannot be easily confused with the four-striped wrasse.
They just look too different. It's a really wonderful animal. We can assume that, like the six-striped wrasse, it actively searches for strudel worms.
The Pseudocheilinus species do not sleep in the sand at night but look for a quiet place and surround themselves with a cocoon (kind of protective cloak that suppresses the smell for predators).
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
