Info
Pseudocheilinus evanidus, Jordan & Evermann, 1903
Sensitive to transport like all Paracheilinus species. Often gets spots in the first days. If these are overcome, the animal is not difficult to maintain.
In the beginning the fish is quite shy, but this gives itself with the time. Then it swims around quite curious and pecks a lot at the stones in search of small creatures.
Appears also otherwise not so shy to larger fish and usually establishes itself quickly in the fish population. Pair keeping and more possible.
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!
