Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto)

Description:

Behavior: The Royal Gramma is a peaceful and hardy species known for its vibrant coloration and docile nature. These fish are generally non-aggressive and can coexist well with other peaceful tankmates. They thrive in well-structured environments with plenty of live rock, caves, and hiding spots.

Color: The Royal Gramma is visually stunning, featuring a body that is split into two vibrant colors. The front half is a brilliant purple or violet, while the back half transitions into a bright yellow. This bold coloration makes them a standout addition to any marine aquarium. Juveniles and adults exhibit similar color patterns.

Diet: Royal Grammas are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet. They do well on a mix of high-quality flake food, pellets, and frozen foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Including marine algae or spirulina in their diet helps maintain their health and vibrant coloration. Providing a varied diet helps maintain their health and vibrant coloration.

Tankmates: Royal Grammas are generally peaceful and can be housed with a variety of other non-aggressive marine species. Suitable tankmates include clownfish, gobies, tangs, and other peaceful fish. Avoid housing them with overly aggressive species that may intimidate them or compete for food.

Reef Aquarium Compatibility: Royal Grammas are reef-safe and do not harm corals or invertebrates. Their peaceful nature and vibrant coloration make them a beneficial addition to reef aquariums. They often perch on rocks and corals, adding dynamic movement and visual appeal to the tank.

Max Size: Royal Grammas can grow up to 3 inches (8 cm) in length. Due to their active nature and need for hiding spots, they require a spacious aquarium of at least 30 gallons to thrive and maintain good water quality.

Origin: Royal Grammas are commonly found in the Western Atlantic region, particularly around the waters of the Caribbean, including the Bahamas and the Florida Keys.

Sexual Dimorphism: Royal Grammas do not exhibit significant sexual dimorphism, making it difficult to distinguish males from females based solely on appearance.
