Basslets

Basslets belong to the Grammidae family. These fish are commonly known as Fairy Basslets, or Pygmy Basslets, and consist of the species Gramma and Lipogramma. Closely related to Groupers, Basslets are found mostly in the Western Atlantic, and most commonly associated with coral reefs. Basslets are found on reef slopes close to caves, ledges, or coral formations.

They will thrive on a diet of meaty foods such as finely chopped fresh or frozen marine fish, squid, mysid shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and frozen carnivore preparations. Feed at least twice a day.
