notes
   A very attractive specimen. Best kept without other similar or smaller size tankmates which would share the same hiding places. If ample hiding places are available, then multiple Royal Gramma can be house together in a larger tank.   
overview
  
The Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto) is sometimes called a Fairy Basslet. It belongs to the family named Grammidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Royal Gramma is aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Gramma loreto should not be housed in a tank less than 20 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
