In captivity, they can be fed a diet of frozen or live meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and chopped krill. It is important to vary their diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients.

The Arrowhead Basslet is not known to be aggressive but some species may become aggressive towards the Arrowhead Basslet.

When adding the Arrowhead Basslet to a new aquarium, it is important to acclimate them slowly to avoid shock.
