The Tobacco Basslet arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 55-gallon saltwater tank. The coloration is vibrant and it seems to be eating regularly. Easy to maintain and a great addition to our marine setup.

We received the XL size and it fits perfectly in our tank. The fish is active and shows no signs of stress. Feeding it a mix of mysis and flakes has worked well so far.

Great quality fish with strong color and good health. It has been in the tank for two months and remains lively. The packaging was secure and the instructions were clear.
