Gold Assessor Basslet
The Gold Assessor Basslet, also known as the Golden Mini Grouper, is entirely yellow with red outlining the fins. The Gold Assessor Basslet will not bother invertebrates making it an excellent choice for reef aquariums.
For a single Gold Assessor Basslet, provide at least a 30 gallon tank. Larger tanks are recommended for multiple individuals. Plenty of rock caves should be available for hiding. Due to its aggression and territorial nature, it is best to keep only one male in a single aquarium.
As a carnivore, the Gold Assessor Basslet thrives on a diet of meaty foods such as finely chopped fresh or frozen marine fish, squid, mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and frozen carnivore preparations. Feed at least twice a day.

The Gold Assessor Basslet is a striking fish with vibrant yellow body and red fin outlines. It looks great in my 40-gallon reef tank. I’ve kept it alone as recommended and it’s not aggressive toward corals or invertebrates. Feeding it frozen mysis and brine shrimp twice daily keeps it healthy and active.

I bought this basslet for my reef setup and it’s been thriving. The color is very vivid and it’s peaceful in its cave. I feed it meaty foods twice a day and it eats well. I’m happy with the choice, though I make sure it’s the only one in the tank.

This fish adds a lot of visual appeal to the tank. It’s not shy and uses the rock caves frequently. I’ve been feeding it frozen fish and shrimp, and it’s active and healthy. No issues with corals or other tank inhabitants so far.
