The **Swiss Guard Basslet** is a highly sought-after and rare species of basslet. These fish feature a predominantly red body adorned with striking white horizontal stripes.

Reaching up to 3 inches in length, **Swiss Guard Basslets** thrive in aquariums of at least 20 gallons. They exhibit semi-aggressive behavior and may show territorial tendencies towards smaller fish and other basslets.
