multiple royal grammas

[TWYOUNG]

Has anyone added a group of Royal Grammas to a tank? These are aquacultured juveniles so I imagine they are coming from a tank full of Grammas.

Yup, unlike Psuedochromis which almost always have to be kept individually or as a mated pair Grammas kan be kept in groups and in larger tanks species can be mixed. I'd suggest 3 in a 20 or 30 gallon or 5 -7 in a 75 - 90 gallon. Of course the those numbers might need ot be smaller depending on what other fish you have.

Great! I'm thinking 4 in my 130 gal.

130 should be more than enough. I would even go with 5. To me, fish in groups of odd numbers are more aesthetically pleasing

Will they school together at all?

Probably when they are young but they will develop territories as they mature.

I added one recently with another that has been established for years in my 75.
It went very well but I'm guessing because the new fish was smaller that the old fish.

Nice hope they make a pair and spawn a bit.
