Chalk Basslet are very hardy additions to just about any aquarium. Chalk Basslets stay very small with a max size of just over 3". These diminutive fish are planktivores in the wild, so they are used to eating foods suspended in the water column. This means they are both easy to feed and highly unlikely to bother sessile invertebrates. However, they might make a meal out of small ornamental shrimps and crabs. They are pretty peaceful, and so multiple Basslets can be added at one time which mimics their wild distribution. Feed these fish small meaty foods a couple times a day since they have a high metabolism. They will be eagerly taking more processed foods fairly quickly. This attractive little guy has a purple mid-section and an orange color throughout their body. There are bright blue vertical stripes that help them really stand out. The Chalk Basslet is found within the Western Atlantic and can usually be found up to 90 meters deep.
