My Brazilian Gramma

[grknyer]

I'm curious as to know if anyone else on this site owns one of these?
I bought it back in April of 2005 thinking it was a Royal Gramma. It is the southern cousin of the Royal. It lacks the yellow streak through the eye and is so much bigger body and mouth size .When I purchaced it it was about an inch and a half long. It currently is about 3-4 inches long and man can it be nasty when defending it's cave. I also have no shrimps in my tank because it ate them :eat: and cannot add any until it passes.
Well here are some pics. Excuse them if they are blurry. The fish is so FAST i'm surprised even finally snapped these:lol2:

I sold the apartment and still looking for a home but we put an offer on one the other day and waiting to hear back from my broker. I hope to come back in the hobby by next May/June. Is everything ok with you and the family?

Harry,

I had a black cap basslet that was the same way - he would lunge open-mouthed at anything that passed in front of his hidey hole. I have a shot of him, as soon as I find it I will post it. BTW, if you do a GB with Cherry Corals, I am definitely in.
