Royal Gramma and Orchid Dottyback together

[Zionas]

Does anyone keep a RG and an Orchid Dottyback together? (Would you recommend this combo?)

What are the chances of them killing each other?

Is one or or both fish captive bred?

How big is your tank?

I did until I lost my orchid dottyback (velvet). I'd probably recommend one like a striped or neon dottyback with the royal gramma instead.

The chances of them killing each other are directly proportional to the size of the tank x the number of hiding spots x random fish personality.

Up until last week I had a pair of dottybacks and a royal gramma in a 160-gallon display (haven't been able to find the neon, could be misadventure). All were captive bred to the best of my knowledge.
