Yellow Assessor (Tank Raised)

Assessors are fascinating fish with an amusing habit of swimming upside down. They are often found living under overhangs, but once established in a peaceful aquarium will swim in the open water and become quite personable. Aggressive tank mates and fish with large mouths should be avoided. Assessors are safe with corals and all other reef inhabitants. They are peaceful with all other fish and go well with even very shy fish such as jawfish, pipefish and seahorses.

Assessors are primarily carnivores and their diet should include plenty of high quality meaty items, marine algae, Spirulina, frozen Mysis shrimp and high quality pellets. It is preferable to feed two to three times a day

The Yellow Assessor is a bright lemon color with stunning emerald edges to its scales and striking orange highlights on its long fins. Males and females are identical; however males may grow slightly larger. It grows to 2 inches and should be kept in an aquarium of at least 10 gallons. It is usually found singly, however if the aquarium is large enough a group may be added together at the same time. We recommend at least 30 gallons per assessor.
