Swissguard Basslet

Males and females are both 3.2 in. Damselfish already present in the tank can be aggressive. Minimum tank size is 6.6 gal. as long as quality of water is well maintained. This fish is found in the subtropical and tropical water of North and South America.

The Swissguard Basslet’s diet consists mainly of zooplankton. It should be fed meaty/freeze-dried foodstuffs daily. It may eat ornamental shrimp.

These fish prefer rocky environments like the rubble piles at the base of the reef. They may hide at first but will become bolder once they are acclimated to the tank. If the tank is in a quiet place in the house, the fish will be less likely to hide. They have a tendency to jump out of the tank.
