Its fins often display reddish hues, complemented by a subtle pinkish-red flush on its throat and cheeks. A naturally secretive species, this basslet gracefully darts between rockwork and crevices, providing intriguing, intermittent glimpses as it explores its environment. Though initially shy, it becomes more confident once acclimated to a stable aquarium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An intermediate care level species, the Barred Spiny Basslet thrives in well-established reef tanks. Generally peaceful with other non-aggressive fish, it can be territorial towards its own kind unless housed in very large systems. Exercise caution with very small ornamental invertebrates, as they may be seen as food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Provide a minimum of 115 litres for a single specimen, ensuring ample live rock, caves, and sheltered areas for security. Maintain stable parameters: 22-27\u00b0C temperature, pH 8.1-8.4, and 1.020-1.025 SG salinity. A mature filtration system is crucial for water quality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A carnivorous species, this basslet thrives on meaty foods. Offer high-quality frozen mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, copepods, and finely chopped marine foods once or twice daily. This fish may also prey on small benthic invertebrates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Buy From Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We responsibly source and quarantine healthy aquarium fish, ensuring robust specimens.
