I got my new and beautiful swissguard basslet from KP Aquatics the other day and he is amazing. Gorgeous fish and very inquisitive about everything. Hasn’t eaten yet but showed some interest when I fed the tank earlier. Not too worried as with all my fish they took a few days before they started eating and I have lots of pods in the tank.

My basslet seems obsessed with my skunk cleaner shrimp to the point I got a bit worried thinking he might attack him! The basslet follows my shrimp everywhere but it always ends up with the shrimp giving the basslet a thorough cleaning lol. It still makes me nervous to see the basslet stalk him around the tank but so far it seems he just wants to be cleaned all the time. It is a wild caught specimen.

Has anyone had issues with these fish attacking cleaner shrimps? It’s possible he’s just really liking being cleaned...he rolls over like a dog haha
