Thinking of adding a couple of Royal Grammas

Will Royal Grammas be compatible with the fish/inverts I have now, which should be listed in my signature line? Thanks for any comments in advance.

Two will likely fight and you will end up with one. RGs tend to be solitary and do not bother other tankmates unless they are threatened. The display a HUGE mouth to intimidate others.

Not picky eaters, they eat almost anything.

I'd worry about the damsels more than 2 grammas fighting each other, especially in a 120 gallon tank where the grammas could set up 2 different territories. Who knows, the grammas might even pair up. There are lots of people that keep harems of grammas and some that kill each other off until there are only 2. Do a search on here for royal gramma harem, read some of the threads that come up and decide for yourself it you want to give it a shot.

I think you might be fine in a 120. I'd introduce them together though.
