Assessor flavissimus, Allen & Kuiter, 1976
Assessor flavissimus is quite easy to keep and not very sensitive.
There are usually no difficulties with food intake.
It is a rather hidden fish that needs to be offered many hiding places.
It is a plankton eater and its main food is crustaceans such as copepods, ostracods and amphipods. After acclimatisation it will eat frozen food as well as pellets.
Assessor flavissimus and Assessor randalli are not mouth brooders in contrast to Assessor macneilli. Information from ORA - further links
It is best to buy a pair if available in the trade.
Two males would fight unless the aquarium is suitably large.
In the sea it lives in pairs, and young in groups.
Habitat: Lives in caves, crevices, under ledges and overhangs.
This fish was discovered relatively late, only becoming known in 1976.
