Royal Gramma Basslet Proaquatix
Gramma loreto – The Royal Gramma Basslet is a beloved reef fish known for its vibrant coloration, with a rich purple front that transitions into a bright golden yellow toward the tail. Its striking appearance and graceful swimming behavior make it a showpiece in both nano and larger reef aquariums.
In the wild, Royal Grammas inhabit coral reefs and rocky overhangs throughout the tropical western Atlantic, where they often shelter in crevices and caves. In the aquarium, they exhibit similar behavior, adding dynamic movement and personality to the midlevels of the tank while appreciating plenty of rockwork and hiding spots.
Proaquatix captive bred Royal Grammas readily accept high-quality pelletized foods as well as frozen options such as ocean.

The Royal Gramma Basslet is a stunning addition to my reef tank. Its color change from purple to yellow is very eye-catching. It’s active and stays in the mid-levels, which is perfect for my setup. Feeds well on both pellets and frozen food. Very happy with the purchase.
Adam Avery –
Beautiful fish with a vibrant appearance. It’s been in my tank for two months and still shows interest in feeding. I appreciate the captive-bred quality—more natural behavior than store-bought ones. Needs some hiding spots, which I’ve added.

Great color and movement. It’s not aggressive and blends well with other reef fish. I feed it daily with a mix of pellets and frozen food. It’s become a highlight in my nano reef.
