Royal gramma's, depending what the tank mates are, may often be a
peek-a-boo fish. If their territory is not threatened they will stay out a lot, if it is they will hide. That said, even with more aggressive tank mates, given some time it will likely still come out and play.

Dither fish are fish used to reassure other fish in your tank., letting them know that every thing is okay simply by their behavior... dither fish are usually a schooling type fish that the more skittish members of the tank can see swimming about freely and thereby get the sense that every thing is okay... not a species of fish particularly but more of a job function i suppose......
i would still give your gramma more time to adapt before rushing out and buying more fish though... hiding for five days is not too long in the grand scheme of things if you look long term.... good luck

I have to agree with everyone else. I have a one that is now very large. But its also one of the most timid of all members of the tank. If you peek at the tank he moves about quite freely, if there is alot of movement in front of the tank, he goes into hiding. However, he will defend his territory once its established and kinda stick around to that place.
Incredibly vibrant purple and yellow color.

Would a school of green chromis's act as good "dither fish"?

Royal Gramma
Um, just a thought - royal grammas are notorious jumpers. Is your tank lid secure? Have you looked for him around the tank? I know that the lady I bought my little reef tank from had a royal gramma jump out of there and die before they found him.
I truly hope this is not the case!
