Yellow Assessors Basslets (Assessor flavissimus) have been bred in captivity by ORA before but they’ve recently gotten productive enough to start shipping these to stores. Up until very recently Yellow assessor Basslets were only availabel as wild caught when they were available in the aquarium trade. Most didn’t notice the display, but there were several in the ORA tank shown at MACNA. Ocean Gallery purchased the display and has a limited number of these fish for sale for about $50 each, quite affordable as compared to their $80 or more wil counterparts It’s very exciting that another saltwater fish has been bred in captivity which helps in the sustainability of our hobby.

They had both the Blues & Yellows breeding in 2006 before the hurricanes wiped them all out. I remember buying a pair of each and ending up with a mixed set after some jumping. Very good price considering how much they are these days from Australia
Love these fish, good to see some available captive bred. Especially when they are less expensive than wild caught.
Joe they had them much earlier then that. I got some back in 2001 from them
Glad to see they are back online
