Hello, yesterday I picked up a Springeri Damsel, and after a successful acclimation and introduction, my Royal Gramma has started bullying him. I know Grammas can be aggressive, but is there anything I can do?

Help! Now the Damsel is in the top corner and not really moving. What should I do?

Do you have a plastic baby cage? Put him in there for the time being. I got mine at Petco. The Gramma is defending his territory. You don't say how big your tank is but you may not be able to keep them both. The Grammas I have had defend their hiding place but things settle down once that is done.

The tank is 55 gallons. What do you mean by a plastic baby cage? Could you send a picture or a link to Petco if you can find it?
