    I was thinkingof finishing off my stocking tomorow and I have decided on a Royal gramma. Any special care requirements? Divers den says it's easy to keep and to feed it a variety of foods.

    Tank: 75g w/20g long sump fuge. All levels are good. Stocking currently consists of a Tomini tang, two blue green Chromis, yellow Corris wrasse, Coral beauty and a Scooter blenny.

    Thanks.

    I have one and I feed him everything. He comes out a lot but in the beginning he stayed in a overhang. That's their usual environment.

    Its not Droid, it's me fishies.

    I love my royal grama. I feed him about mysis shrimp every now and then. He made a little cave that he sleeps in at night on the right side of the tank and in the daytime he has a little house on the left side of the tank...spoiled. He is usually always out and about and never terratorial with 4 other tangs in my 70 gal. So cute..... definetly get one!!! I bought a small one from Liveaquaria.com when he was on sale for $6. I love him!!!

    I think royal grammas are wonderful fish and you should not have a problem with it

    I have one as well.. They tend to be shy for a week when you first introduce them to your tank, so be alarmed if it's missing. He'll be fine, just like someone else has stated, they love caves.
