Chalk Bass

[Spartanman22]

Hey everyone,

Do you guys think a chalk bass pair or trio would be doable in a 30 cube. The only other inhabitants fishwise are a picasso pair who never leave their gig. Or, would I be better off with just 1?

The tank is am SPS dominant fairly mature (2+ years) reef.

Thanks!

I would only do 1, a 30 cube doesnt offer much in real estate for a pair or trio and Chalk Bass get biggish, close to 3" in adult size

Have a look at a trio of Masked Gobies instead. Not as colorful but I think it would work better if your looking for some activity.

Ok perfect thanks for the advice! Finding a good mix of active fish in a small tank is so challenging!

Agree. My chalkies have all reach about 3" and can be surprisingly cranky (particularly based on how shy they are when small).

I miss my old Chalk Bass. They are a beefy 3". So as others have mentioned you'd probably just want one. Cool fish though.
