This is a very rare species of fish.
This species is beautiful, bold, hardy, affordable compared to other highly sought after Liopropoma but two factors make the rainbow basslet an excellent aquarium fish video subject. The bold inquisitive nature of the rainbow basslet means that it is always out and about in the aquarium,
The feature of the rainbow basslet that stands out for us most is the beautiful pink face which is crossed with a dark stripe and adorned with several smaller yellow lines. Also, under some angles the eyes of L. fasciatum can be either blue or lavender as if it is wearing eyeliner. The light blue edging to the caudal and dorsal are also very nice touches on this near-perfect aquarium fish.
