Your Tobacco Bass looks cool.

I have a Chalk Bass and a Highfin Perchlet in my RSM. The Perchlet sounds like it is very similar in behaviour to your Tobacco Bass.

cool i was going to get a chalk bass initally but then i saw the tobbacco in the next tank and well made my choice. still looking for another type of similar fish be it another bass or not, i just really like his mannerisms.

Brent do you have any pics of the perchlet?

No, It has only been in the tank a couple days so is still pretty shy. He's perched out front at dusk but hides much of the day and sleeps in a cave at night.

Also, my cheap camera stopped working on the weekend. I bought a new camera last night so will hopefully get a picture of it soon – I’ll have to see what kind of pictures I can get with the “Aquarium” mode.

Default Bubble tip Anemone

just wondering what a good location would be for this guy? im thinking sand bed as there is a great spot with med flow and a cave for his footing . what do you think? would higher be better due to lighting? also how does one "spot feed" appropriatly ? is they odd mysis and brine, aswell as cyclopeeze that he will get due to normal feedings enough? this spot is in a good flow spot as far as food being carried in the draft as it below one korialia nano and in front of the korialia 1 that is behind my rock.

don't worry about placement too much, he will move where he wants to. I got a green BTA and he has moved 2 times in one month.
