Basslet Saltwater Aquarium Fish
Welcome to our premium selection of basslets, the crown jewels of nano and mid-sized saltwater aquariums. At YoCamron’s Aquatics, we specialize in vibrant, fully quarantined basslets that are disease-free, reef-safe, and ready to add a splash of bold personality to your reef environment.
Basslets are small, vibrantly colored carnivorous fish native to the tropical reefs of the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Indo-Pacific. These fish are beloved by hobbyists for their hardiness, dazzling coloration, and ability to adapt to a variety of tank sizes. Popular species include the Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto) with its stunning purple-to-yellow gradient and the Black Cap Basslet (Gramma melacara) known for its deep violet body and striking jet-black crown. Other notable basslets include Swissguard Basslets, Chalk Basslets, and the elegant Deepwater Basslets from the Lipogramma genus.
Why Choose a Basslet?
Basslets are ideal for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They are generally peaceful, though some can be semi-aggressive toward conspecifics or similar-looking species if confined to a smaller tank. A single basslet in a 20+ gallon tank or a group in a larger system can create the perfect balance of color, movement, and intrigue.
Key Benefits of Basslets:
- Reef Safe – Basslets are non-destructive and safe around corals and invertebrates.
- Compact Size – Typically under 4 inches, making them perfect for nano to mid-size reef tanks.
- Low Maintenance – Hardy eaters that adapt well to captive diets after our comprehensive quarantine process.
- Personality Plus – While shy at first, basslets develop into confident, curious residents with unique behaviors.
Compatibility Tips:
Basslets are best housed with other peaceful to semi-aggressive fish and should have plenty of live rock with caves and crevices to claim as territory. Avoid housing them with overly aggressive tank mates or other basslets in small spaces unless the tank is large enough to establish separate territories.
When you shop basslets from YoCamron’s Aquatics, you’re not just buying a fish—you’re investing in livestock that has been thoroughly treated with our scientifically proven medication protocols. Every basslet is dewormed, prophylactically treated for ich and external parasites, and conditioned to accept high-quality frozen and pellet foods.
