The Chalk Bass is hands down underrated. Peaceful, reef safe, small, can be kept in groups, and a unique color pattern yet I rarely see them in stores or people even mentioning them!
Found out about the sleeping last night…
You’re telling me. Yk where and how my Midas was sleeping? He was flopped on his side curved/curled, like when the workers at Costco hold a salmon before they put it in the styrofoam plastic covered carton, wedged between the rocks under the overflow. That made my face pale.
Fascinating…they say it’s not reef safe and recommended food is silversides, shrimp, and squid. I’d be really curious
The variant is indonesian. Which is the one I wanted
Yeah they can be mean.. my orchid was and is super friendly but yeah, they can be pricks. I still do love them
I really like Rhincodon typus, and no one talks about them....
Hard to have a fish like that. So small they’d be lost in most tanks.
The color is really unique on that fish that's for sure. I don't think I have ever seen that fish either!!The Chalk Bass is hands down underrated. Peaceful, reef safe, small, can be kept in groups, and a unique color pattern yet I rarely see them in stores or people even mentioning them!
Does it hide all the time? I want one, but I heard you never see them.
I just got a fish no one talks about. Possibly because no one knows it exists....
Wow thought that would be much harder to get! good job
Please keep us updated.
I will. I have yet to see any specific care requirements for it so I'm just trying to broadcast feed a variety of foods and do a couple night feeds as I think it may be nocturnal. It is very shy and cryptic even though it is the longest fish in a very peaceful tank.
