Bass & Basslets

Bass and Basslets make wonderful peaceful community fish and are also coral safe. We recommend an aquarium of at least 30 gallons for Basslets which grow to 3 Inches, and at least 50 for larger species and groups of multiple individuals. There are no differences between males and females. Basslets feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming.They are typically easy to feed on a variety of frozen meaty foods, and may learn to take dry foods in time. Diet should include plenty of high quality meaty items, marine algae, Spirulina, and Mysis shrimp. It is preferable to feed more than once a day.Stunning robin's egg to sky blue covers the Caribbean Chalk bass from nose to tail.

It is hardy and may even be kept in a group if all individuals are added together. It is peaceful and invertebrate safe, except for very small shrimp and crabs. The Chalk bass grows up to 3 inches.
