Such compatibility charts only serve as a rough intro guide....

Each species under each group has their own distinctive personality or so (e.g. one common thing we know and often discuss here is that YT & PT are arch-nemesis unless given big tank space).

So more than just the fish species itself, other factors such as tank size and other parameters also do play a part as well... Including which species is introduced into the tank first... as well as size....

Also, within certain groups itself (such as wrasse), there are specific species that are reef safe and some which are not....

It takes experience and of course, proper planning and lots of reading up on a particular species when stocking your tank... many mistakes (including back breaking ones when we have to remove liverocks to recapture a fish) are learned when we intro something that is not compatible.

Cheers! ;)

Found this on a website. Rearranged it in Word format. Hope tat it's helpful when u go for yr shopping.

Found some discrepancies on compatible issues on different books.

Eg. False gammas belong to GROUPER, thus caution when putting in tank in a book. But another book says ok.

BTW, false grammas or dottybacks are known to be aggressive... probably explained the cheap price ($6 or so for one)

True grammas on the other hand are quite peaceful.... (but $$$$).... :lol::D

"BTW, false grammas or dottybacks are known to be aggress"

Ya.... tat a**hole.... killed 2 of my crabeye, 1 fire shrimp, 1 dragonet & 1 algae crab. Only zoom in on this culprit when I saw it tried many many times to attack the cleaner shrimps.... never say die attitude.... Luckily I was in midst of adding in new LR n need some rearranging work. Moved all the LR just to get it....

Pity the color so nice but aggressive. It is confirmed the royal gamma is peaceful? Saw it at a lim chu kang fish shop.

yes it is peaceful

but not to mention price tag

Alternatively, settle for the Brazilian gramma (around $30 to 40 or so when I bought it 2 years ago)

But for me, nothing beats the Royal Gramma in terms of its sheer colour vibrance and that ###### "eyelashes" markings.... Rare to come by and pricing wise.. $$$$$....

See the difference and you know what I mean

Picture 1 (Royal Dottyback) - super aggressive, $6 or so marketprice... definitely no "eyelash" markings and no black dot on dorsal fin...

Picture 2 (Brazilian Gramma) - peaceful, shipment comes in often, around $25 to $40 depending on where you buy from.... lack "eyelash" markings and colours are less vibrant as compared to Royal Gramma. Distinctive black dot on dorsal fin.

Picture 3 (RoyalGramma) - peaceful, shipment is rare and price wise is seasonal and exp.... strong "eyelash" markings and colours are more vibrant and Iridescent... Distinctive black dot on dorsal fin. ONE HELL OF A BEAUTY!!!!!

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
