Blackcap Gramma

The Blackcap Gramma is also known as the Blackcap Basslet. It is found in the Western Caribbean and Central America.

Males and females are both 4 in. This is a very shy fish and any aggressive species will dominate it. It is best kept singly or in a pair. Larger groups are possible if the aquarium is large. The minimum size tank is 13 gal. The aquarium should include rocks, crevices and caves. Since this fish inhabits deep waters in the wild, lighting should be kept to a minimum. Feed it all types of meaty foods. It will also eat small invertebrate in the tank, such as copepods, amphipods and isopods.
