Aquarium set-up: This stunner loves to seek refuge in rocky caverns and enjoys gentle lighting. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: Basslets, grammas, forktails, and dottybacks are versatile eaters, readily devouring a variety of foods. Among their favorites are small frozen crustaceans like brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and top-notch frozen blends.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
