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?

:thanks:

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.

Always something more important than fish.

that's why I remove all the old fish like boxfish, over grown nemo & fox :lol: 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 :D ready for another royal gramma

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