Genus

Common name: Basslets

Scientific name: Liopropoma

Liopropoma is a genus of marine fish known for their vibrant colors and small size, making them popular in the reef aquarium hobby. These basslets are generally peaceful and can be kept with a variety of other reef-safe fish. They prefer complex rockwork with plenty of hiding places. While they are not aggressive towards other tank mates, they can be territorial with their own kind, so it's best to keep them singly unless the aquarium is large enough to support multiple territories. They are carnivorous, requiring a diet of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp and brine shrimp.
