It naturally lives around coral rubble, steep reef slopes and channel walls, usually staying close to caves and crevices where it can quickly retreat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey stay very small but have a surprisingly bold personality and can become extremely confident once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStrawberry Basslets are carnivorous and readily adapt to aquarium foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOffer a varied diet including frozen mysis, enriched brine shrimp, finely chopped seafood and good-quality marine pellets. Once settled they are normally enthusiastic feeders and will quickly emerge from the rockwork at feeding time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStrawberry Basslets are completely safe with corals, making them suitable for reef aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main consideration is their territorial nature. Despite reaching only around 6 cm, they can be surprisingly assertive towards peaceful fish that occupy similar caves or areas of rockwork, particularly gobies, dartfish and other dottybacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProviding plenty of caves, crevices and broken lines of sight helps reduce territorial disputes. They are generally best kept as the only dottyback in smaller aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVery small ornamental shrimp may potentially be viewed as prey, although established larger shrimp are considerably less vulnerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere aren't many fish that give you this much colour in such a small package. The Strawberry Basslet is intensely pink-purple from nose to tail and really stands out against rockwork and coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey also have far more personality than their size suggests. Once settled, they're bold, inquisitive and usually very visible – just don't mistake small for timid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvide\n```\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":53392659677520,"sku":"THR-5AD4C420DB","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":53690033635664,"sku":"THR-E76570E4F0","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":53690033668432,"sku":"THR-DDFA41AD11","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9552\/0848\/files\/original_26bb825d-c724-4307-9c9a-00caf61fcc06.jpg?v=1790806170","url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/strawberry-basslet","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
