Looking at potentially putting a captive bred Pseudochromis splendens into a 36" 65 gallon tall with a black cap basslet and some fairy wrasses. Wondering if anyone has experience with this specific dottyback in a smaller tank?

I've kept it before with a wide variety of other fish (including a black cap basslet pair, firefish, CB orchid and neon dottybacks, and more) without issue, but it was in an 8'x4' 380 gallon tank. This is a much smaller system. The gramma is the fish I am most concerned about compatability wise, and would be added first and is already a solid 2.5", whereas the dottyback would be about 1" in length.

Not this specific dottyback, but I do have a striped dottyback in with a royal gramma, lubbock's fairy, sixline, bicolor and melanarus wrasse.
