Hi Guys,
I ordered in a Royal Gramma from my LFS. When I went in, they advised me they had ordered the wrong kind... (Royal Dotty Back). I haven't made a decision as to whether I want to take the Dotty Back over the Gramma. But I was hoping someone knew the differences.

The main difference I have noticed is that the Gramma's colours "fade".
Whereas the Dotty Back's colours are more of a sharp line.


Are there any differences between the two?
-Diet
-Compatibilty
-Tank Size
-Rarity
-$$
-Species (IE Basslet)


I have spent ages googling this, but can't find any real destinctions, other than you can't keep them both together.


Thanks in advance guys.
 
Definitely more aggressive. If your "my tanks" is correct and you only have a 5g and 10g, I would NOT get the dottyback unless that will be your only fish.
 
Thanks for the reply's.

After visiting the marine aquarium, I have found that the gramma is three times the price of the dottyback! They have a black spot on their fin, and a stripe across their eye, the dottyback doesn't.

I need to upgrade my profile, but I am about to start cycling my 40g marine tank with dry/wet trickle system, and he's going to hold the gramma as long as I need.
