wow this is awesome! what a discovery

[@LiveAquariacom]

Thank you for enjoying the video. 😊

Excellent video, really helpful. I was going to get a bi colour dotty back for my nano reef but now I’m going to see if I can get a candy basslet or a royal gramma.

[@TheAquaman1979]

$700 🤦🏻 ok royal gramma it is then. 😂

[@Cavegeckosol]

My black cap from you guys is doing great. One step closer to my Caribbean biotope...

[@LiveAquariacom]

Thanks for the update and your support! And, thanks for watching!

What kind of coral is that in the background? The big one with the long tentacles.

[@LiveAquariacom]

On the left is a Toadstool Leather, on the right is Cespitularia. Thanks for watching!

[@davidvandenberg6378]

Good video, would love to hear more about compatibility

[@LiveAquariacom]

Compatibility (mixing) can be tricky with some of the species. Some aquarists have success mixing species while others do not. A large established tank with ample coral and rock work increases chances for success. Thanks for watching!

Is there a lifespan noted anywhere? I have had one for 10 years, but yet the only reference I have for captive bred and aquarium life expectancy is 5-6 years.

I have a 32g tank and would really like to get a Liopropoma. I have a yasha goby and pistol shrimp. Do you think the pistol shrimp would be alright?

[@LiveAquariacom]

Should be ok as long as the shrimp isn't too small. Thanks for watching!

[@johnathanchisholm260]

I am new to the aquarium hobby could i house these guys with starry gobies or what other fish do you recommend with starry gobies.

[@LiveAquariacom]

These should be fine with Starry Gobies as long as your aquarium is not to small. Most basslets do well with other peaceful Gobeis, Blennies, etc. as long as the aquarium is 30 gallons or larger. Thanks for watching!

i have a 21gallon cube housing 2 ocellaris clown and 1 fire shrimp. Would adding a royal gramma be pushing it? it has plenty of cave rockwork

[@Berkmnn]

Add it

[@ajiisss]

can black cap basselet and royal gramma be kept together

[@LiveAquariacom]

Sometimes... Some aquarists have had success introducing them at the same time in a larger aquarium (over 4' long) with lots of rock and structure.

[@drewt1]

Can I put a swissguard basslet with my royal gramma in a nuvo 20?

[@LiveAquariacom]

The Gramma may be territorial depending how long it has been in the tank. Thanks for watching!

[@HeyItsThattGuy]

5:23 as long as the hermits do their tasks

[@Lloyd_Irving]

Will the gold assessor be territorial with other basslets?

[@LiveAquariacom]

If you have a large enough aquarium and plenty of rock and coral structure they shoul be ok together. Thanks for watching!

Just picked up a Royal Gramma today and he went to bottom of the tank into a small cave. I couldn’t find him at all after a few hours of him being in the tank. I used the light on my phone to find him and he’s beside a rock. But he ain’t moving at all that I saw. He almost looked like he was dead. But there was a 1.5 inch opening in my Marco rock where he’s parked his butt. Hopefully he’s not smoked and he will come out. He’s in the tank with 2 small clown fish, and a small yellow watchman goby. And the goby is weird also as it’s greyish white with light black stripes. The store said he was captive bred and he will turn yellow in the next bit. Personally I think I have a albino yellow watchman goby lol

Great video, I love the basslets but they are never for sale 👎🏻 great video though 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Dan-lg4ti]

You might have better luck at your LFS. I know mine almost always has chalk bass and some other ones in stock

[@A96RangerPrerunner]

I got one at my LFS
