Ah, see I've had neon dottybacks who soured my taste. I know they're different species, but after how nasty they were to every single other fish or invert in my tank I'm afraid of basslets lol. It may be irrational, but it was bad enough to the point where I would have to seriously consider whether a fish or invert was able to defend itaelf against the dotty back and lost more than one fish to its savage attacks. He literally just killed for fun. He'd kill Crabs and shrimp, only to leave them to rot.
I'm glad to hear that chalk bass may be a bit more community oriented though.
