Macneill's Basslet - Assessor macneilli

Thanks for your time -

Marinedepotlive speaks very highly of these guys. Have you any experience with them? Do you have any photos?

I keep a group of four. Harmless perfect reefsafe fish. Not dificult to get to eat.

They will be rether shy the first weeks but will then come out in the open water. As the live in groups you should not keep them as single fish.

Thanks for your post Peter.

I've seen pictures online - sometimes dark blue, sometimes very light blue. What color are yours?

I have a 45 gallon tank - 1 ocellaris and 1 yellow watchman goby. Should they be added in odd numbers - 3 or 5 for example? What would happen if you mixed the blue with the yellow?

They're generally peaceful. Usually they are dark blue. Sometimes the lighter ones will darken up over time.

The yellows tend to be a little more aggressive than the blues, and so don't do quite as well in groups. Also, if you mix them, the yellows can pick on the blues.

Mine are very dark blue - like a pot of ink.
