royal gramma

Hello. I would like to know, in your experience, which fish is more peaceful: Pseudochromis fridmani (Orchid Dottyback, also known as the Fridman's Dottyback) or Gramma loreto (Royal Gramma)? Will there be trouble with Blue Sapphire Damselfish (Chrysiptera cf. springeri) or Firefish...

Afternoon all, So I'm relatively new to this but have had a fluval evo for 6 months with no issues what so ever, so far. I've just set up a water box 60.2 and currently have a Royal Gramma and Purple Fire Fish, noticed on Tuesday that the Gramma was not coming out as usual with the Fire Fish...

I have a 20 gallon long tank running for 1 year. It currently has 2 clowns and a yw goby. I have a HOB filter, protein skimmer, and oversized UV light. I would like to add some colorful and practical fish. Here are a few possible additions I came up with, which one do you all think will work...

Hey guys so I was watching my gramma today and saw that he threw himself against the sand bed 2 times and against the heater. I can’t get a great photo but there appears to be a few white spots on his tail. a bit of history, I lost a clown in January to what I believe was velvet since he...

Hi everyone, I am new to this group, but made the account in hopes of receiving advice for my situation. I have had my tank going for over a year now, with no hiccups thankfully. But today I noticed my Royal Gramma behaving completely different almost like ill. She seems to be sitting in a...

Hello guys! New reefer here, I currently have a 10 gallon reef tank which is about 5 months old. Currently have a few LPS corals and a few softies in there, which most have been in my tank around a month or two. I made this thread because I recently purchased a fluval evo 13.5, and I am going to...

Hi all, need some help if possible ..my royal gramma just died after only having this guy for a month. Found him dead today, was eating fine as of last night but has been hiding frequently the past few days but coming out to eat. Had another gramma previously that only lasted a few months. My...

Okay so I’ve just upgraded my mixed reef tank from a fluval nano to a 170 I quarantined the fish for 5 days before over loaded the power in my house 3 times!! So I moved the fish over. 5 days the fish had some suspicious looking marks on the fins. Today i the tail is completely shredded, red...

My royal grandma has been acting funny for months. She’ll lay on her side, very close to the bottom. She’ll sit there, motionless for hours but when I try to catch her, she flips out and swims all over the place. I also think she’s blind… when I give her food, she will come for it, but always...

Hello, I unfortunately lost a 2+ year old Royal Gramma to some unknown issue. Up until about a week ago, it was actively eating, swimming out and about, and looked perfect and vibrant. One morning I noticed it didn't come out for food, thought it was strange, but didn't think about it. As the...

I’m not sure what happened. I noticed today that my Midas blenny was gone. I eventually found my Midas blenny had passed and was already pretty much all gone. I had kind of seen this coming as he kept getting skinnier and skinnier even though I was feeding him daily and everyone else was happy...

I am getting a royal gramma next week and want to build a cave out of rocks for it since I heard they like caves. Do they prefer caves with 1 opening, or a pass through kind with 2 openings? Also if anyone has any royal gramma observations about what kind of rockwork they like to hang out...

Hi all. I just added a lawnmower blenny yesterday. He’s about 3.5 inches already so not really a baby. He’s bullying my Royal gramma quite badly to where she is pretty much not moving. Just hiding or laying in the back of the tank. The blenny kicked her out of her normal caves while he explored...

Hey y’all, I’m planning a 75 sps dominated peninsula reef! I decided to put only nano fish in because I like the way it makes the dimensions look. Ive done tons of research and want there to be no fish violence! All peaceful. Basically want to know how well Royal Grammas and Gold Assessor...

Hello all so I noticed about a week maybe 2 weeks back that my Royal Gramma’s tail was damaged, it hasn’t got progressively worse until maybe today it looked a bit more torn possibly, not sure but is this tail rot or another fish nipping him or? I only have a royal gramma, purple fire fish, 2...

Hi All, last week I purchased Royal Gramma and placed it in a QT tank. After few days I saw it scratching against the heater and I started copper (copper safe) treatment. Copper lever is on 2ppm according to API test kit. Two days later and I see it scratching every now and then. Sometimes 3-4...

Hello all, I have a royal gramma in my 20 long, as well i have a pair of clowns, a watchman goby and a blue damselfish, The royal gramma keeps picking up sand with its mouth and throwing it all over the place, Should i be concerned or is this normal behavior?

Hey everyone, So I started this tank in August, so far everything is going great, We upgraded from a 10 gallon to a 20 long, added some new coral (Soft only) as well a Royal gramma who seems to be fitting in really nicely. This is from the 10...

I just had a Royal Gramma die after caring for the fish for months with no signs of disease. The fish died within 24 hours after I noticed it acting distressed. After it died, it had what appeared to be the outline of a bite mark on its side, but the bite mark was about five times the size of...

Hi, probably a but early to be worried. I bought a Royal Gramma yesterday which when added to the tank darted straight for the rocks. It did this in the shop and went inside of the rock there so i think its done the same in my tank. From what ive seen they can hide for quite a while my only...

I recently lost a royal gramma to flukes. We got her about two weeks ago and as soon as she entered the tank our yellow fin damsel was on her. Persistently chasing her and nipping her. so bad that we had to remove her and decided we needed to find a new home for the damsel. She had a bit of...

After posting about my refugium over in the macroalgae forum I decided why not post up my whole build progression while I'm at it. First off, I suppose this would be considered a budget build by most standards, and/or DIY, nearly everything was repurposed from old builds during my last foray in...

Hiya guys, I have a Yasha goby/pistol shrimp pair in my tank and in about a week a pink streaked wrasse is arriving. About a month after it arrives (whenever my tank is ready) I want to add another fish, either a royal gramma or a pictus blenny. Eventually I would like both in my tank, but which...

Hello, So I’m going on a vacation next week for four days. I have already found a “fish sitter”, so to speak, but he’s pretty inexperienced, so I told him to feed my fish pellets instead of mysis. My clownfish eat pellets just fine, but that’s part of the problem. Before my royal gramma gets a...
