Species Spotlight: BASSLETS | With Hilary, Marine Biologist of WaterLoggedLife.com

I had a little wild chalk basslet, and he was happy as a clam to eat anything that would fit in his mouth. I used NLS Small Fish pellets as a staple. They look plain on paper, but when you get them under reef lighting, those stripes...well, they don't literally glow, but they might as well.

I already have a Royal gramma but would like a swalesi basslet too when I upgrade my tank to a 100 gallon, do you think I can keep the two in the same tank?

[@karennation3580]

I have had 2 royal grammas and as I recall the first was out swimming alot in the water column but this new one i have hides all the time, no matter how peaceful his tank mates are! Which is more common? Also can you recommend some fish for a 20 gallon to go with the royal gramma? He is in with my clowns now but going to be moving my clowns into my larger tank. I dont want any bottom dwellers mainly because I keep mushroom that are expensive down there and I worry about them getting lost in my tank! They also seem to be harder to feed! I want colorful open swimmers and having a hard time finding any besides the yellow clown goby but they are so small I am afraid they wont even be seen. i know they like to perch but at least thats out in the open! I love tailspot blennies but the last one i had basically lived in a hole in the rock and all I saw was his head!

Candy Basslets , Royal Gramma B. , Yellow / Golden Assessor , are the ones that are most colorful it seems , but the " Royal " version looks like the colors middle to head to like chalk coloring's . I don't like chalk at all so I don't know what to make of it of if I like them or not of that kind .

Love my Royal - wanted a Swales but too hard to find where I am ;)

[@jordanharper8297]

Do you think they would mess with my pistol shrimp? I have a goby and shrimp pair.

I love the beautiful Swiss guard in my tank.But I just almost never see this shy guy and have never seen it eating in the years time I've had it.😕

[@DamedFilms]

so when you say we should keep those basslet in a nano tank cause they might get lost in a bigger tank...... What do the wild ones do in the ocean.. Do they always get lost ??? lol

[@steves6918]

Thank you beautiful

She can handle my basslet any time 😍

[@fishybizzness1592]

How tall are you? Either you're very tall or you have very low ceilings.

[@reeferjay23]

So much misinformation. I have kept my candy basslet for many years now. Prior to that i have kept rainbows and klayi and none were territorial to other fish or to inverts. They are the quintessential reef safe community fish.
