Mine never ate other fish, he just beat everything up. Bassletts in general can become nasty little fellows.
Good luck man.

Chalk bass will only pose a threat to any small ornamental shrimp you might have. The grow to a maximum of a little over 3 inches and they are considered an excellent species for reef tanks. It's actually a rather shy fish and requires plenty of hiding spaces.
P.S. I have a Clown Goby and he picks on my Copperband Buttferfly which is about 20 times his size. I think the Clown Goby can protect itself. It's also known to have a terrible tasting mucous coat that prevents prey from eating them.

I'm assuming he means the Chalk Bass and not a basslet (aka Gramma). Though I do not believe Grammas to be aggresive towards other fish either.
