Captive-Bred Cuban Golden Basslet $600

[Biota_Marine Verified Sponsor]

One of coolest holy grail fish are finally much more obtainable! I've got a batch of our captive-bred Cuban Basslets (Gramma dejongi) for sale on the site at this new pricing. These guys are 2.5"+, reef safe, and eating everything you throw at them (mostly TDO pellet, Hikari Mysis, and PE Calanus at our facility)

When will the orange tail damsel come back in stock?

When will the orange tail damsel come back in stock?

Those guys are out of stock for quite a bit, likely 4+ months. But I have a batch of Pavo damselfish coming in stock late next week. They're typically a bit more docile when compared to the orangetails.

Any idea how these would do with an established Carmabi/candy basslet?

That's actually a really great question. We have mixed these with their closer related cousins the royal gramma with no issues. The candy basslets are typically cryptic and smaller than these guys so as long as there's ample rockwork they shouldn't be a problem together. That can vary on a fish by fish basis but I would generally give it the green light.

I got my Cuban basslet from you guys a week and a half ago and it's awesome. I highly recommend them. Any idea when you might have multibar or venustus angel again?

Those angels usually come in small waves but I'd guess likely late fall/early Winter.

Are you keeping all three one in one tank?

Did you lose one to a powerhead? My dejongi never goes close to the Nero, but now you've got me nervous.

I've just read the stories... my fish won't fit but "torpedo shaped fish" might fit.

I'd hate to see a beauty like that chopped up some morning...

Jake please PM me I want to order again this week.

Ours goes no where near the mp40s and mp60s. Mostly hang out among the rock work and middle of the tank.

I have a cycled Waterbox 35.2 and I really wanted the first inhabitants to be a mated pair of candy basslets so they could establish their territory. Doesn’t look like that will happen due to availability.

Do you think there will be an issue adding the Golden Cuban first?

Got mine the other day. Sorry for the bad picture but here he is hanging out in a barnacle next to a Biota Tessellated Blenny.

contemplating on a Golden Angel from Biota next. Highly recommend Biota!!

If the Candy basslets are paired they might show a bit more aggression, especially if they end up having some eggs somewhere in the tank. I've found the cuban basslets generally puff up and intimidate rather than actually attack anything unless it's tiny.

We're hoping to have another batch of both these species available likely at the end of this month or early March
