i will try to get a good picture of it tomorrow so I can post what it looked like when i first got it (about 100 days ago), and what it looks like now..
is it still not eating? what food are you trying? I'd be surprised if it passed on some frozen brine much longer

i keep a red sea wild caught fridmani (orchid) dottyback with my royal gramma. the gramma was in tank first, I added the dottyback a month later. it took a day or two for them to accept each other, but now they dont fight ever. the fridmani was the one looking for the fights, but the gramma's huge mouth made him think twice. i think having a lot of caves/hideouts helps a lot also.

it definitely depends on the pseudo, some can be real nasty.

well i had a wall of rocks hiding the powerhead and heater, but my cinnamon (aka bulldozer) caused an avalanche. so there are a lot of new tunnels and caves for the gramma to explore so i will give it a few days and maybe get the little dottyback (for a price of $50!).
