Anyone ever keep tobacco basslets?

[RockRash]

I did what I started out to prevent. Impulse purchases.

So I mistakenly bought 3 tobacco basslets ( thinking they were chalk bass) anyway I now have them in qt. I had no idea they got so big, has anyone kept them? There's very little information about them. I'm fully prepared to return them if needed but I have to say I've grown attached to them. Has anyone successfully kept them whith inverts? I know I cant have all 3 I'm my 75 gallon but maybe one?

They have great personalities and follow you around the tank just looking at you. Awesome fish. Just don't want to regret adding them.

Which one are you going to keep? :face-with-hand-over-mouth: :smiling-face-with-sunglasses:

I agree these are awesome fish, but I have never had one in a reef long term.

And this is my impulse reply, I can't help this either. good luck.

I ended up returning them. They were really cool but super aggressive during feeding. I had them in qt with a flame angel and they wold not let him eat.

Ya, they really were cool fish. They always stayed in a tight school (except for feeding) they kinda moved there bodies to follow you around the tank/ room. My wife is still sad we didn't set up a tank just for them.
