Royal Gramma Basslet – Biota NC
Gramma loreto – The Royal Gramma Basslet is undisputedly one of the most perfect reef tank citizens. These fish are extremely popular because they’re not only gorgeous with their bright complementary colors, but they’re hardy, robust, and easy even for beginners to keep and feed. Unlike many other small fish, they’re not as timid after the acclimation period and tend to spend time in the water column entertaining their humans. They are peaceful toward even the most timid fish like seahorses. They’re completely reef safe with all inverts and corals (except maybe hitchhiking amphipods that grow in most tanks).
This species does well in nano tanks, but they’re gregarious enough for large tanks. The ideal tank size is 30+ gallons.

I bought this Royal Gramma Basslet for my 30-gallon reef tank. It’s been two months and it’s very active, colorful, and peaceful. It doesn’t bother other fish and even swims in the open water. Easy to feed and stays healthy. A great addition to any small reef setup.

First time keeping a reef fish and this one was a perfect choice. It’s bright, friendly, and doesn’t stress other tank inhabitants. I didn’t have to worry about compatibility. It’s now a regular sight in the water column.

The fish looks stunning and is easy to care for. I feed it once a day with flakes and it eats well. It’s not aggressive and coexists well with my anemones and small inverts.
