Candy Basslets are happiest if they have some cover. Your fish list looks fine. I have one that gets along great with 20+ other fish in a pretty open aquascape, but he does have a few caves where he hangs out. He has gotten fairly bold at feeding time and is not bothered by any of my wrasses, tangs, angels, clowns or royal gramma.

Okay great! What about feeding? How many times a day do you feed?

I feed 5 or 6 times a day. It’s more than necessary for the candy basket, I do it for the anthias.
