The royal gramma basslet, scientific name Gramma Loreto, is a peaceful fish. This fish has a minimum tank size of 30 gallons. They can grow up to 3” and can live up to 6 years. Royal grammas are carnivores and should be fed frozen foods such as mysis or brine shrimp. Royal grammas should be kept singly and should be introduced to the tank at the same time as other basslets. The royal gramma is reef safe and will not bother coral or invertebrates. The royal gramma will hide and sleep in crevices found in the rocks. During the day they will often be seen swimming in the tank near their cave.
