    Alright so since i have my wrasse out of the tank i have been thinking about what fish to put in the tank, i know for sure i wanted a royal gramma.

    Today on Divers Den there is a group of 4 grammas all ranging 1-3/8" to 2-1/4"

    My current stocking list is a pair of tomato clowns *the female is large but mainly stays in my bubble, i also have a single chromis who is not very active, my green spotted puffer who is not very active, and my cherub angel who is active but small and stays amongst the rocks.

    I have enough filteration to support the fish and enough open swimming room.

    Main concern is the gramma's being territorial, tank is a 46 bowfront. I almost bought them just now but want more opinions

    I don't think it will work. I think you would need a 6 to 8 foot long tank.

    Why don't you just buy one? And chromis do much better in schools. I have four and they actually school with my two percula clowns.

    i was planning on buying one but then i was shown these guys and thought it might work. And as far as the chromis, he's a bastard of a fish, i started off with 5 killed every single one, killed my McCoskers flasher wrasse, and terrorizes everybody, thankfully the fish are tired of being bullied and a starting to put the chromis in his place. I regret this chromis and will never get any again :D
