a lil' tidbit about the fairy basslet from Sea Life Inc. -
Royal Grammas, Gramma loreto, are also known as the fairy basselet. These are primarily imported from Haiti, and are one of the most popular and beautiful fish from the Caribbean. They thrive on most foods, are not aggressive towards other fish, and don't get real big. They do very well in reef tanks and will not bother corals and anemones. The average size is about 1.5". Unlike the grammas from Brazil, these can be kept together in aquaria and although they'll spar with each other, it is a non-lethal sparring. They are very easy to care for and will thrive on most common marine fish foods.
They eat everything I have given them...flake, pellets , live, frozen.
The macroalgae was "pearling" before the lights went out last night B)
I am all over...ha AC was one of the first forums I ever visited..now I am a forum junkie the more info and peeps I can meet in my hobby the better lol
I like to share my experiences as well....good or bad.
besides all us salties started in the freshy area at some time or another...I can't keep a FW planted tank to save my life...that is why I am trying a SW planted hahaha
I have no idea how you even have time to visit one forum with all the aquariums you seem to have. I don't know how you do it... each and every tank you setup is more jaw dropping than the last. I have a hard enough time keeping one tank is good condition, it seems like you have an entire house filled with reef tanks from all the different tanks I have seen you post. Keep up the great work! It is very inspirational.
(also, don't feel alone, I can't keep a FW planted tank alive either. )
