Royal Gamma

[ReefTank_20g]

Can I get a royal gamma for my 75g? These are planned fish stocking

• kole tang

• 2 clowns

• 2 banggai cardinals

• shrimp goby pair

• black clown goby

• sand sifting blenny

• six line wrasse or another type

• mandarin dragonet

Would it work in my system?

Not with a sixline.

Also, sixlines compete with mandarins for pods.

Yeah I'm still debating the Sixline. I'm thinking I'll try the dragonet out first, and then after a bit I'll get a sixline or other wrasse. Then if I notice aggression I'll return it or move to a separate tank.

Royal Gramma is a great choice. Might consider a Possum wrasse or a McCosker's Flasher wrasse. Six Lines can be very aggressive; mine bullied a Neon dottyback of similar size until he was exiled.

+1 on no royal gramma with sixlines. My sixline killed my royal gramma after an intense 2-3 month squabble.

Flasher and fairy wrasses are more peaceful and don't compete for pods.
