The Swales Basslet is a vibrant, small fish perfect for reef aquariums. These fish have a slender, orange body adorned with horizontal white stripes and distinctive black eye spots on their fins.

Swales Basslets grow up to 3 inches and thrive in tanks of at least 10 gallons. They are generally peaceful and coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, though they may occasionally target smaller shrimp.

These basslets flourish in tanks with abundant live rock, providing them with hiding spots and a source of small invertebrates to snack on between meals.

As carnivores, Swales Basslets require a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and small pieces of fresh seafood like fish or squid to ensure their health and happiness.
