Candy Basslet Question

[minhvu]

I currently have a Candy Basslet (Liopropoma carmabi) in a 20gal nano. I'm breaking down that tank soon. I'm thinking about putting him in my 150gal reef. Currently inhabitant in there is mostly anthias and wrasses. No real aggressive fish. Will the candy be ok in there?

I think there could be possible issue with some wrasses. What do you have?

Should be fine. My buddy has a spawning pair in a 120 fat boy with wrasses, tangs, anthias (Bartlett) and a few other fish.

I would think there is no problem. It will initially be somewhat reclusive until it feels comfortable but after that, it should come out to feed.

I currently have pair flame, pair rhomboid, hooded, and a few flasher

Watch out for the six line, which I add afterwards and was bullying the basslet...

It will be fine, but that is an expensive fish to never see again. I saw my Swissguard all the time in my 24g Nano. Now that it is in a 75 I hardly see it at all.

Yes, it could. I would not keep a sixline with a candy basslet.

No sixline or mystery wrasse here

Then you should be fine.
