The Swales Swissguard Basslet is an excellent choice for a peaceful reef-dwelling fish. Not only is it a beautiful addition to any aquarium, but it is also hardy, making it an ideal choice for beginners. However, it is important to keep in mind that the Swales Swissguard Basslet can pose a threat to smaller, ornamental crustaceans that can fit into its mouth. Therefore, it is critical to provide at least a 10-gallon tank for a single individual. It is also advisable to house this fish with larger, similarly sized tankmates to avoid any potential aggression. Finally, it is important to regularly monitor the tank for any signs of aggression or stress.
The Swales Swissguard Basslet is a carnivore and will thrive on a diet of meaty foods such as marine fish, crustacean flesh, mysis shrimp, and quality frozen preparations. It is important to provide a varied diet to ensure optimal health and growth. Additionally, regular feedings should be provided to support the fish’s nutrition. To ensure the best health of your Swales Swissguard Basslet, a varied diet of meaty foods should be provided in regular feedings.
