The Arrowhead Basslet is a unique and seldom-seen species in home aquariums. These fish are native to the Coral Sea and exhibit a striking greenish-blue hue with distinctive black patterns.
Arrowhead Basslets can grow up to 6 inches and require a minimum tank size of 75 gallons. They are semi-aggressive, often preying on smaller invertebrates and potentially showing aggression towards smaller, more peaceful fish. Therefore, caution is advised when introducing an Arrowhead Basslet to a reef aquarium.
For those interested in keeping multiple Arrowhead Basslets, a tank of at least 125 gallons is recommended. These carnivorous fish thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods, such as mysis and brine shrimp, small pieces of fresh seafood like shrimp, scallops, clams, and fish, as well as high-quality meaty frozen foods.
