Gramma loreto, commonly known as the Royal Gramma, is a popular choice for marine aquarium enthusiasts due to its striking purple and yellow coloration and peaceful temperament. Our stock is tank-bred, ensuring healthier specimens and better adaptation to aquarium life.
Care Level: Easy to moderate care, suitable for hobbyists with some marine aquarium experience.
Temperament: Generally peaceful and shy, making it compatible with most community reef tanks. It may become territorial towards conspecifics or similar-shaped basslets if kept in too small a space.
Diet: Carnivorous; thrives on a varied diet including high-quality frozen or live foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Supplement with quality pellet or flake foods formulated for carnivorous marine fish.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide adequate swimming space and territory.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, safe for reef tanks and invertebrates.
Lighting and Water Flow: Standard reef aquarium lighting and moderate water flow are ideal to mimic its natural habitat.
Placement: Provide plenty of live rock with caves and crevices for hiding and establishing territory. This helps reduce stress and encourages natural behaviour.
Origin: Western Atlantic, including the Caribbean Sea.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 8 cm (3 inches) in length.
Our tank-bred Gramma loreto specimens come in various sizes, allowing you to select the perfect addition for your marine aquarium. Tank breeding improves survivability and reduces wild collection impact.
