there is no aggression between any of the grammas and the swissguard.

they are far from conspecific and most of these types of basslets are deep water species so they are usually in the dark corner of aquariums or hiding under overhangs/caves while the grammas generally stay out in the water column unless nesting.

If this is regarding your 180, these fish will likely ignore each other.

LOL now I'm on the fence again!! I'm thinking the tank will likely be big enough but now I've been reading that these fish are pretty cryptic and being from fairly deep depths likely won't appreciate the amount of light on my tank. Ugh! DILEMMA!! I do have a fair amount of caves and overhangs and such though so he should feel quite at home in that aspect. I guess I have some things to think about today.

Thanks for the info Gobytron...a harem of royal grammas eh? What I wouldn't give to try that out *sigh*
