Cherry Pygmy Basslet (Cypho purpurascens)
Overview

The Cherry Pygmy Basslet is a small but stunning reef fish known for its rich cherry-red to magenta coloration and peaceful temperament. Compact, hardy, and full of personality, this species is ideal for smaller reef aquariums or as a colorful addition to larger marine setups.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, including Indonesia, Fiji, and the Great Barrier Reef, the Cherry Pygmy Basslet inhabits coral reefs and rocky crevices, where it often shelters among live rock and coral formations.

Feeding

A carnivorous species that thrives on a varied diet of meaty marine foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, finely chopped seafood, and quality frozen or pellet foods. Feed once or twice daily for best color and vitality.

Tank Mates

Generally peaceful and reef-safe, the Cherry Pygmy Basslet can be kept with a wide range of community fish, including gobies, wrasses, and clownfish. Avoid keeping multiple basslets in small tanks or housing them with large, aggressive species.

Aggression

Mildly territorial, especially toward similar-looking fish or other small basslets. Providing plenty of rockwork and hiding places helps minimize aggression and allows for natural behavior.

Experience Level

Perfect for beginner to intermediate marine aquarists. Hardy and easy to care for, this species adapts well to aquarium life and is an excellent choice for reef or nano systems.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 75°F – 80°F (24°C – 27°C)
  • Salinity: 1.020 – 1.025 SG
  • pH: 8.1 – 8.4
  • Alkalinity: 8 – 12 dKH

Vibrant, hardy, and reef-safe, the Cherry Pygmy Basslet is a delightful addition to any marine aquarium—bringing both color and character to your reef community.

Cheap Gshock replacement, good value
For $13 this is a steal. It's essentially a casio illuminator w larger bright dial, press once for 5 sec of light then goes dark. Date, time (12 and 24hr), stop watch. The basics, all I needed. A+ Edit: updated the waterproofing is non-existent. It's not even water resistant so treat accordingly don't bring into the shower. The face plastic cracked on me from moderate use, still legible and since I don't test it with water not an issue. The buttons are very sensitive so activities like lifting can cause the bottom left button to depress and switch to stopwatch, or engage the stopwatch. After over a year use I still rank this as a good value. It does the one thing I wish Casio would do is improve light illumination time. The buttons depress easier than Casio's which is a bonus imo, but can be aggravating to some. The water resistance doesn't exist so purchase accordingly.

Great watch, wristband wears out after a while. Uses a Skmei 1251 band.
Watch is reliable, doesn't drift in time too much, very efficient on battery, has gotten complimented on the look a few times and has a nice user interface. It's also great to be able to see the date without pressing any buttons. The band has fatigued and snapped after many months of putting on and taking off the watch, but If you'd like to find a replacement band, search for Skmei 1251 wristbands.

Inexpensive sports watch that was easy to set up and works well.
I have had this watch for a few days. The included instructions were very basic, but I figured out how to set everything up pretty easily. The watch band is pretty adjustable, fits my fairly wide wrists very well. For the price, about half the cost of the name brand very similar watch it replaced, the watch works well, I am very pleased.

This is a great watch for the price!
I purchased this watch to use mostly down at my cabin. It is well-made, the functions are easy to use, and it has withstood all the abuse I’ve put it through. I wear this while hunting, cutting firewood, riding ATVs, and just running around the timber. If I destroy this watch in six months, it will be well worth the money I paid for it, but I don’t think that’s going happen. It’s stylish enough to wear to the office and just going out. If you’re looking for an every day watch, you’re not worried about destroying, this is the one to get.

Excellent Time Keeper // Terrible Wristband !
The watch itself is fantastic. When I first got it, and set it up, I set it to the time on my computer, which is as accurate as you can get. In the beginning I checked the time accuracy daily. After a few weeks my time checks changed to once, or twice a week. I never had to change the watch's time. The seconds would vary a little, in comparison to the computer clock. But, it never got more than 30 seconds either side of the computer clock. However, the watchband is a big time NO-GO! The buckle, where you connect it on your wrist, can be frustrating most of the time when you are trying to put it on. Once you've got it on, the strap that goes beyond the buckle is held down by a sliding keeper, that slides in and out depending on what you're doing. Terrible design! I wanted to buy a "Twist-a-Flex" wristband, but couldn't find one that matched the unusual design where the straps attach to the watch body. I bought the watch 4 months ago. Today, one of the 4 pins, that connect the straps to the watch body, fell out somewhere, making the watch impossible to wear. Excellent price. Excellent timepiece. Worst design for a wristband that I've ever seen.
