The Black Cap Basslet is a great starter fish for the beginner hobbyist. They are brightly colored, easy to care for and readily take prepared foods, which make them very appealing. They have an adult size of about 4" which makes them ideal for nano aquariums. This fish is known to find a hole in live rock and make a home out of it. The Black Cap Basslet can become territorial, so use caution when adding more fish to the aquarium and only one Basslet should be added. For continued health, provide a diet of frozen meaty foods and pellets. They are commonly misidentified as a Dottyback due to the color and body shape. They are purple in color with a black stripe on its head which resembles a "cap." The Black Cap Basslet are found in the waters within the Caribbean.
