Brazilian Gamma?

[Pocketlama]

I was originally told this was a Dottyback and then I thought Royal Gamma but there's no stripe through the eye. Now I think Brazilian Gamma. Is that right? (I call him Lucky because of the lines on his face that look like scars.)

Dottybacks have no line running through the face.

According to what I've read, it's a royal gramma. Brazilians are practically unheard of in the hobby.

See the spot on the dorsal. It's a royal gramma. Probably a geographical variant due to no stripe through the eye. May be a juvenile, or sexual dimorphism thing, as well. Not really sure, since I hate all those fish.

No spot would be a bicolor dottyback.

How could you hate a gramma...? They're the perfect community reef fish IMO. I completely forget I even have them because they're so benign as far as aggression goes.

They are all aggressive, IME. Everyone I've ever had was like an elongated damsel. Hate em all.

Well there you go. Thanks. It was the lack of the line that confused me. Royal gramma it is.
