royal gramma

Reefer who has kept royal gramma, can share your experience?

This is a description of the fish by marine center:

The Royal Gramma is magenta or purple on the front portion of the body, and yellow on the rear portion. it is a hardy, relatively nonaggressive aquarium fish. It will defend a preferred hiding place from intrusion. An ideal fish for the reef aquarium, this durable fish typically does great in any well maintained aquarium. Grammas can be kept in groups in the aquarium, but they should not be overcrowded and should be of varying sizes. Placing one larger fish and several small fish in an aquarium your increasing the chances that you will acquire only one male and several females.

Do you find it as hardy? how long has it been in your tank?

It quite a hardy fish as me in with me for close to 2 years and is always in the open water.

This is one of the easiest fish to keep. I kept mine for nearly 2 years too!!

I got 1 from PR, with me for 8 months, seldom see its full body except its head peeping from the rock looking out for food. When there's food it will swim out...

thanks

Try not to get one if you have very aggressive damsel, they can kill it in less than an hour time. Btw, royal gramma are very aggressive also.

Recent shipments in the past few months have been a bad experience. Out of 10 royal grammas purchased on separate occassions, only 1 survived. Acclimatization was done properly and those which actually began feeding on the day itself died within 3 days with gills inverted out. I give up.

maybe one more try to let my heart die

Keep trying, Don't give up !

[hammy]

tried 3 , 3 died . in the end go for black cap.... never regret.

anyway royal gramma is a nice and beautiful fish but somehow it is difficulr for mi

[Tanga]

Tried 2 one survive this time round I make sure the fish is really feeding. It will do better if your tank does'nt have any aggressive fish like dottyback family.

[chewlaoheng]

that's why I remove all the old fish like boxfish, over grown nemo & fox and a bit aggressive fat lyretail anthias and the KILLER lobster aka majestic shrimp!

now only have reef-peaceful fish like mandarin, 2 spot goby, fire goby and a small lyretail. Other than reef safe, reef peaceful is also important ready for another royal gramma

read that black cap is aggressive leh anyway royal gramma more beautiful

[Morpheous]

Royal Gamma is a hardy fish IMO....

Killed countless of my blennies and gobies.....
