the guy at 110 says its a brazillian gamma.

Anyway whats the difference between them? I can't find any info on brazilian gamma but many info and pics on royal gamma.

[Dazer]

Brazilian Gamma mouth is bigger and not as colorful as the royal gamma. I have one brazilian gamma bought from there also. I'm also looking for a royal gamma.

[bwilly]

no. royal gamma is alot brighter in colour..

I also got one brazilian gamma..

[arcanehacker]

anyone have pics to compare?

[Dazer]

The mouth of the brazilian gamma reminds me the mouth of the snakehead. Still looking for the elusive royal gamma.

[arcanehacker]

wow.. its seems like many are looking for royal gammas and not many places have them.. I wonder how much will they cost..

[derf]

the eye of a royal gramma has a slash. whereas a brazillian gramma has a 'dirty' mouth.

i think most of us are looking for a royal gramma but it's very difficult to get.

[arcanehacker]

any diff in their chararteristics? Like reef safe? Territorial?

water circle has some the last time i went there

There are hardly any write up on the brazillian gramma. Apart from the different areas that they can be found, I don't think there are much difference.

last time was? .

I am also incidentally looking for Royal Gamma. Got a few questions.

1. Can Royal and Brazilian co exist or will they kill one another?

2. Are they Reef safe?

[Ridemtb]

a week ago?they had a pair

Eh mouth bigger i not sure but royal's mouth is nto small either... sorry to spoil your spot guys, IMO gramma loreto(royal gramma) might not come to singapore anymore maybe due to the fact that brazilian fish which consist of brazilian gramma are more readily available and cheaper compare to carribean fish which consist of royals, thus with this more supplier tend to ship fishes from brazil instead of carribean.....

easily available doesn't mean they are the same what! Price of the fish doesn't matter unless you are telling us that carribean fishes would cost 10 times more..

People are willing to spend $250 on a Helfrichi Firegoby. Why then can't they bring those in? I doubt it would be that expensive.

[Weapon_Master]

Not sure if season has a part to play in this? Sometime shipment also? Maybe just have to be patient and wait a while longer?

Cleaner and Fire Shrimps are so scarce during the monsoon but in abundance now.

gramma loreto(royal gramma) are from the US forida but due to poor contacts, high handling cost as well as unethical practise by some of the Forida supplier, local LFS find it not worth taking the risk to bring in the fish. The cost of a IMO gramma may cost in the region of $50 to $70 as compare to $25 for the brazilian gramma which is half the price.

2. Are they Reef safe?

never mix a loreto aka royal gramma with a brazilian gramma. Loretos are excellent or perfect reef fishes, even for beginners. But they are mild, brazilian grammas are more territorial and tends to pick on mild substrate dwellers...so it will tend to bully the mild tempered loreto gramma. Avoid putting them together, that is if you can find the loretos, i have been looking for it for nearly a year over here....

[arcanehacker]

so I guess we can forget about it.. or even if there is, I wouldn't be the first to get it..
