Keeping with my Caribbean reef obsession, I've been thinking of trying a harem or reef basslets as schooling fish as opposed to damsels, chromis or cardinals. Which does everyone think would be cooler to see? Chalk basslet  Royal gramma basslet  |

Not a fan of the yellow tail reef basslet. Plus I already have dispar anthias which are similar/more colorful.

I was asking witch ones your thinking of?? These were they only ones on liveaquaria with the "reef" tag so that's why I thought it was these?

Ah, yea I misunderstood. I added some pics of the two reef basslets I'm looking at creating a harem of.

The royals don't generally do well in a group, but the chalk do

The royals don't generally do well in a group, but the chalk do Of course they don't because they're better looking fish. Imo |

From all the research I've done, They both have similar schooling habits. Grammas tend to form more of a hierarchy like dwarf angels or anthias though. Very few people actually keep enough to create a true harem though.

Interesting...in the wild I've never seen grammas in any groups other than 1s or 2s. I'll have to keep a better eye out next time I dive.  Do this...a harem of chalk bass and a pair of grammas (or blackcaps if you want to go more rare). You should have room. |
