Common name: Basslets

Lipogramma is a genus of small, colorful reef fish known as basslets, popular in the aquarium trade for their vibrant hues and peaceful demeanor. These fish are typically found in the Caribbean and adjacent regions, inhabiting crevices and overhangs on coral reefs. They are known for their shy nature and preference for dimly lit environments. In the aquarium, they require stable water conditions, plenty of hiding places, and a diet rich in meaty foods. Their small size and relatively low aggression make them suitable for most reef aquariums, where they can coexist with a variety of other peaceful marine species.
