Some new additions

[reefndude]

3 female lyretails and 2 royal grammas
Ordered 3 grammas but one was doa

Looks great, I’m not sure about grammas in groups (never seen anyone do it) but I’ll have to look into that. If I were you though I would get more hiding spaces.

I want a Royal Gramma something fierce, but I cant find one locally.

I have more pvc I can add. I've read they can be kept in groups so I thought I would give it a shot. They will be homed in a 250g tank once quarantined

Oh okay good, I thought that they were going to be housed in a smaller tank. It should be fine then.

If you get them small, and introduce all at the same time, they'll often form a nice harem situation. The dominant fish, like it's cousin the anthias, will become male - the rest will stay female.

About 24 hrs in and the two grammas are swimming side by side.

I have read they can be kept in groups as well as and they do best if added all at once and very small. I’m seriously considering adding a group of 4 to my new build.

I will be following to see how they do. I had 1 in my last tank. They are beautiful! Mine came out in the evening and cruised the tank but stayed in his cave during the day when the lights were on. I’m hoping a group may spend a bit more time out and about.

It has only been 24 hrs so far but the two have been swimming together pretty the whole time.

Just looked at your profile and see you are in Georgia. I just moved to South Carolina but I work in Savannah. Are you nearby?

I did a 6 month warehouse project this year and brought my wife down for a week.

Went to HH, Tybee, river street, St Simons.

Then my company offered me a promotion to move here and we said YES!

Love living next to the island.

I love the area too. Grew up here and was gone 15 years. Couldn't get back fast enough. Always a lot going on

Any clubs or groups around here?

Would love to meet some fellow reefers!

I hope I didn’t hijack your thread!

 

[reefndude]

Couple Facebook clubs.
Savannah Reefers and Charleston Reefers.
Coastal Georgia Reef club is a group of good guys. They meet 2nd Saturday every month. Next one is in Richmond Hill. You are more than welcome to check it out

About 48 hrs in quarantine and these two showed a little aggression towards each other. Space might be getting a little to tight.
29g tank with the 3 anthias.
Grammas haven't eaten a whole lot so that may have something to do with it as well.
Anthias are eating good

What are you offering the grammas? Are they showing any symptoms of disease?
