Nick's Reef Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well I picked up a new phish last night when I went to get ro water at the LFS. I nice little royal gramma, they had a blackcap I wanted but it looked a little beat up and the royal gramma was $17 less. I'll get pics of him/her in the tank once she decideds to come out of it's lair under the rocks on the left side. Link to comment
MitchReef Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Very pretty fish...how are they? I don't know much about grammas... Link to comment
Ocho Cinco Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Very pretty fish...how are they? I don't know much about grammas... I always thought they were aggressive... Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Very pretty fish...how are they? I don't know much about grammas... Cheap, hardy, and will eat anything. I'd call them semi-agressive, they will defend their cave or ledge with their life, but won't go and attack a fish for no reason. Their very much like jawfish in their personallity, very inquisitive. They're pretty much a jawfish that hides under a ledge or in a cave not in a burrow is the best way to describe them. Edit: they also swim upside down alot like assesors. Mine won't swim right side up under the rocks but when it was out in the open it swam right side up. Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well the royal gramma is eating rod's like a champ and has moved to the ledge on the right side where I can she her better, still can't get a pic cause she lays right behind the prism favia and all I get is the favia in pics.

MitchReef Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Sounds like a great fish, but I have a really easy going wandering ledge fish already, so I would steer away from a Gramma for now...And my ledge fish swims upside-down ALWAYS...it's a pretty rare one...Priolepis ascensionis...Ascension Goby...I've posted for others who have them and come up with EXTREMELY few in the hobby...Here is Dizzy...with his Porcelain friend...

Nick's Reef Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Dizzy is awesome, I've always wanted one of those guys, but I couldn't fathom spending $40 for a little fish like that Link to comment
5galnanoreef Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Having seen this tank in person, I must say, I like it much better without the sand. Nick, that gramma is nice, I'll have to see him/her swimming next time i come over (when i pick up that hammer from ya) The zoos are doing well, and your old emerald crab has decided to hose in and among the massive amounts of xenia in the frag tank (HAHAHA) Link to comment

And man was the gramma active while I had my hand in the tank. Swimming all over checkin' me out. If the water clears up before lights out I'll take some pics. Everything has colored up nicely after fading so I'm pretty happy about that and the sunset just keeps growing and growing. Link to comment

Nick's Reef Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Fts Phishies I tried to take some top downs but this is all I got....... Yep the clown wouldn't move, he just followed the camera thinking it might feed him I guess. Sunset Link to comment
MitchReef Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Your sunset is encrusting great...a bit bleached out, bit it will come back to color I imagine...give it a few months and it should make the swing...when I got my Appleberry Monti it turned nasty mud brown and stayed that way for like 6 months....then one day it started getting greener....and now I have this... It's greener than that in person, but still not where it needs to be... And this is your Sunset Frag's twin.... It's at least 12 inches from the galss, but where my Maxi-mod is I can't take pictures of that end of the frag shelf.... Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 yeah mitch it got a little bleached when I took the rocks out and had everything on racks, well everything did. It has ton's more color than before though. Link to comment
treygarz Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Nice pics Nick! You've probably mentioned this already but it has been a while since I've looked through your thread.... but what made you get rid of the sand? And THANKS for all the help with my brain coral I appreciate it! Link to comment

You've probably mentioned this already but it has been a while since I've looked through your thread.... but what made you get rid of the sand? And THANKS for all the help with my brain coral I appreciate it! The flow was just making a sandstorm of it and since my yasha died of old age I thought I'd take out the sand. And after doing so I'm never keeping a tank with sand again, all i doo is siphon detritus once a week. And np on the brain, glad i could help. Link to comment
