Macneill’s Assessor Basslet

Macneill’s Assessor Basslet (Assessor macneilli)

The Macneill’s Assessor Basslet, known for its vibrant blue coloration, is a small and peaceful fish that makes a striking addition to reef aquariums. This species prefers a tank with ample hiding spots, such as rock caves and crevices, to mimic its natural habitat. Unlike some basslets, Macneill’s Assessor Basslet is less territorial and can be kept in small groups if introduced simultaneously. A minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended, with a larger tank required for groups. Their calm demeanor and compatibility with a variety of tank mates make them a popular choice for aquarists seeking a visually appealing yet low-maintenance fish.
