hi, I have a 13 g nano cube.



My only fish is this royal gramma, I always wanted to add another fish , but I think that my gramma would attack him , I am not really sure, but what can I do ? Do you recomend me any fish?

My System has a 3 g sump, with a skimmer, like 7kg of LR , a little bit more maybe .

Any ideas?

You should easily be able to add a couple more fish. Stay away from other basslets and dottybacks and the gramma should be fine.

Clownfish, firefish, gobies, blennies, etc... will all be fine.

Yep, but be advised some royal grammas can be very territorial - mine hates new introductions, but usually settles down. You may have to rearange the rock to break up his territory.

I've had two of them. Mine have been territorial as well, but rarely left their little cave. Rearranging the rockwork a bit when you introduce new fish is a great suggestion to help fight this type of reaction.

Moving the rockwork is a trick to help break the gramma of being as territorial, because it's territory is disrupted. Adding two fish won't make much difference to help this.

Then just add the buggers and don't worry about it. The gramma is likely act territorial for a day or so then calm back down. It might not even act that way if it's something that's not similar in body shape, or color.
