The yellow (about half the size of the blue) was added about a year before the blue one so strictly speaking from my experience you should have no issues at all adding a second assessor.

Cool, thanks goby! My Blue is also quite cryptic, and if I could catch it I would put it in my Zoa nano so I would see it more often, plus the strong blue lighting in there would make it look awesome. Assessors aren't very widely kept, so I think there is a lack of precise information. Since they are a basslet you would assume they theoretically shouldn't get along, but there always exceptions. You aren't the first person I have heard of keeping a Blue and a Yellow together, and I think Leah (on these forums) also keeps them together. I have also heard of people keeping harems of Blues long-term with no troubles. Time to go buy a Yellow I should say.

I agree...
and so much of the information out there is often outdated and comes from a pre live rock era...

A Harem of either color (or both) would make an intense display.
Thought I must admit to immense satisfaction in the gramma group I have established....

Hopefully one day, one of us will get lucky and wind up with a green assessor...lol
