Common name: Basslets
Scientific name: Grammatidae
The family Grammatidae, commonly known as basslets, includes small, colorful reef fish that are popular in the aquarium trade. These fish are known for their vibrant hues and patterns, which make them a favorite among aquarists. Basslets are generally peaceful and can be kept with a variety of other reef-safe fish. They thrive in well-established aquariums with plenty of hiding places and stable water conditions. While they are relatively hardy, they do require a diet rich in meaty foods to maintain their health and coloration.
