    I have a royal gramma in my nano along with a pair of clowns(small) a watchman goby and a cleaner shrimp. Grammy has decided to become the neighborhood bully and picks on everybody. I am thinking that I would like to put her in the large tank.

    Fish in the large tank are scopas, hippo, hawk, and tomato clown. I think she should do fine in there, but wanted some opinions on it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Marine Compatability Chart

    This is a compatability chart from Live Aquaria that you might find useful. In my exeriance Royal Gramma's are generally peaceful. He would be a new fish in a big pond - probably be put in his place by your Hippo and after a little sparing things should settle down. Tomato Clowns can be bullies as well - so if he chooses to battle with that clown I put my money on the clown.

    is this your 12g nano? No way an RG is going to do well in there sorry. They are very territorial and need a LOT of space and they are aggressive when defending their territory. They should really be classified as semi-aggressive even in a big tank they tend to be bullies. Personally, I would not put them in anything less than a 40g breeder though, probably more like a 55 to be honest...

    With the fish you listed, I doubt it would be an issue. That would be your 6th? fish in a 125gal tank so should be decent amount of room even with 2 tangs.

    hmm... I think I answered before I had my coffee this morning.... Yeah, the 125 should be fine. 12, no good though.

    Thanks everyone, now if I can just catch the little twerp. She likes to go undercover everytime someone goes near. In the big pond she will go. ;D

    Thanks for the chart that was pretty cool. Gonna keep it.
