Will a Royal Gramma get along with a mandarin??

[tdog555]

I know the whole deal with the mandarin, but was wondering if a royal gramma will get along with one?

Royal Gramma does not bother anything except defended his house. If you have large enught tank where other fish leave the RG alone, then there is no problem.

Royal gramma that I have even though its in with similar sized and shaped fish is a pussy cat. Pretty darn peaceful in my situation .

I keep a gramma in a tank with a pair of scooter blennies. They are pretty similar in habits to the mandrins. The don't pay each other any mind at all. The gramma is about the most peacful fish in my tank. They don't bother anyone.

Ive had both in a 29g, and they both completely ignored each other.

In fact I would say a mandarin ignores anything larger than its diet staple, which is bugs one millimeter or smaller, which includes all of my fish, and me as well. Its as if he didnt see them.

The only problem I can see is that the gramma is going to eat pods as well.

I have 2 gramma's in my 50, together with a blue mandarin and a variety of other fish. No problem at all, I have the mandarin in this tank for about 1,5 years now..
