I have been studying non-stop, trying to find the best combination of fish, COC, filter, equipment, and coral for my 32.5g bowfront reef tank. I have not started it yet, but I plan to in the next month or two, so more time to study lol. I stumbled across an article saying the Gold Assessor Basslet is a good nano tank fish, so I did research on it. I am still unsure if it is a good fish to get.


Is it a good fish for a reef tank?
What is the difficulty to keep it?
What would I feed it?
Is it compatible with wrasses and angelfish (I might risk getting a dwarf angel)?
If this isn't a good fish, what would be a good fish for a nano reef?

Side note: If I did get a dwarf angel, what would be the best option?

Cherub is the only angel I would consider for that size tank, and it may still be a bit of a squeeze.
Coral croucher does as it’s name implies - sits around all day (as many scorpionfish do). They are going to like meaty foods like mysis and such, it may be difficult to get it eating prepared foods readily. It’s reef safe and should get along with most fish that aren’t overly aggressive.
