Origin

From southern Florida, USA and Bahamas to northern South America.

Sexing

Not sexually dimorphic. Close examination required.

Tank compatibility

Mixes well as it is peaceful.

Diet

Carnivorous; eats a wide range of foodstuffs.

Feeding regime

Daily.

Environment Specifics

Reef tank. A smaller tank will make the probability of disappearing much less.

Behaviour

A relatively peaceful species that mixes well. Although bolder than fellow species, it is still relatively shy, and reclusive.

Identification

A red fish with yellow stripes. It can be differentiated from the [[]] because the colours are more muted on the swissguard; a sure-fire way to tell is that the swissguard basslet has a spot on the anal fin, which the candy basslet lacks.
