   Typically will not bother tankmates, nor receive aggression from most. Very aggressive tankmates may harrass hamlets, but can be leviated by offering adequate hiding places.   
overview
  
The Yellowtail Hamlet's scientific name is Hypoplectrus chlorurus. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.0 inches in length, the Yellowtail Hamlet is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Hypoplectrus chlorurus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023.
