Basslets

Basslets are a group of small, colorful fish that are popular in the reef aquarium hobby due to their manageable size and vibrant colors. They belong to the family Grammatidae and are known for their peaceful temperament, making them excellent additions to community tanks. Basslets typically require a well-established aquarium with plenty of rockwork and hiding places to feel secure. They are carnivorous, feeding on a diet of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and prepared foods. Care should be taken to ensure they are not housed with aggressive fish that may bully or outcompete them for food. With proper care, basslets can be a long-lived and rewarding addition to any reef tank.
