I ordered a Royal Gramma from Saltwaterfish.com last week, along with 2 percula clown fish. The Percs are doing GREAT (even snuggling with my Hammer Coral...that was unexpected)..but I am assuming the Royal Gramma is dead. He was VERY healthly looking during the acclimation process. When I finally put him in the tank...my Pygmy Angel immediately when after him. The Pymgy Angel would not let him alone. I saw the Pygmy for a quick minute the day after, and his fins were all torn and had cuts on his body. I have not seen him since, so I am thinking the Pygmy inflicted a little too much damage to him and killed him.
Has anyone ever heard of this??? The Pygmy had never bothered any other fish (including the new percs) before. I was wondering if the coloring was perhaps too similar and the Pygmy thought perhaps it was another Pygmy Angel? I had a Royal Gramma before, but he was much bigger than the new one, but they Angel never had any fights with him.
Would anyone recommending trying a Gramma again...but perhaps a larger one...or should I avoid this combination??
Thanks
