The Tobacco Basslet are very hardy additions to nearly any aquarium. Tobacco Basslets are larger compared to others in their genus with a max size of just over 7". These 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 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 eagerly take processed foods fairly quickly. They are known for the pattern on their eyes that make the Tobaccos look grumpy. The Tobacco Basslet is found in shallow rocky or coral bottoms within the Western Atlantic and can usually be found up to 70 meters deep.
