The Royal Gramma is a beginner friendly, low maintenance, and peaceful saltwater fish that would provide exceptional color to any aquarium it is placed in, with its vibrant purple and yellow body.

It is a reef compatible, easy to care for, fish which is generally considered a must have for most aquarists.

They can be purchased for around $20 (depending on their size) and are an entertaining fish to observe.

Another reason why Royal Grammas are favored by beginners is because they are hardy and resistant to a lot of common disease.

It’s a fish you can’t really go wrong with. They are also friendly with lots of other species and make a great community fish. Your tank should be at least 30 gallons and contain lots of rockwork and caves for them to hide in- this helps them to feel secure. However, as they are used to deep-water the tank shouldn’t be exposed to any harsh lighting.

Generally with beginners, this fish should be kept as a single specimen and you should expect it to live to at least 5 years old.
