Info

(Hildebrand, 1940)

This - with a maximum length of about 10 cm - quite small bass can be found on the West Atlantic coast. The animals are synchronous hermaphrodites, meaning that they have both male and female reproductive organs at the same time.

They hunt plankton in schools in deeper reef areas and should thus be kept in larger groups in the home aquarium as well.
