I have an aggressive royal gramma in my 75 gallon tank. I got it as an adult from a friend a couple years ago. 3-6 months ago I added a mckosker wrasse (quarantened for 3 weeks and it was doing well) I acclimated it for a day in a specimen box, and had no issues. I released it late in the afternoon. It seemed like it was doing fine, just a bit skittish and hung out in the lower corner of the tank. Next day, I couldn't find it but looking closer in the afternoon, I found small bits of its skeleton remains. Other fish in the tank are 2 clownfish, 2 cardinal fish, and a yellow tang. So, I'm sure its the royal gramma.
I now have a coral beauty angel and a carpenter wrasse that have been qt'd for over a month, that I would like to add to the tank. I'd like to remove the royal gramma temporarily (or permanently) to add these other 2 fish. But I don't think I can catch it. Any suggestions on catching it???
Do you think think that the coral beauty would be ok to add with the royal gramma since its enough different in body shape?? I think the carpenter wrasse would be dead meat with the royal gramma. Or would adding both fish at the same time be enough distraction for the royal gramma that the wrasse would be ok?
