Gramma brasiliensis, Sazima, Gasparini & Moura, 1998
The photograph by Hiroyuki Tanaka shows the Brazilian fairy bass.
It can hardly be distinguished from the gramma loreto by the layman, although the eye line is missing on the brasiliensis.
Mostly, however, Gramma loreto is sold.
Both fish are easy to keep and can even be kept in groups of about 4.
However, one should not take an uneven number, as they usually form pairs.
Easily accept replacement food in the aquarium.
Replacement behaviour.
Relocating fairy perch should be done carefully, the fish tend to go into shock in the transport bag or after relocation, although this quickly resolves.
Sex and mating.
The sex of the fairy bass is fixed from birth, at least from a certain size / age. The male fish is larger than the female. A subsequent mating can succeed, but does not have to. Unfortunately, there are no scientific findings on this yet. Perhaps a subsequent mating is successful when the subsequent stocking is still very small.
If you have your own experiences or scientific reports on this, we would be very grateful for information.
