Yeah, Royal Gramma is fine. I had two (lost one), and they were fine with the Copperband. But tangs, wrasses, and other butterfly fish can be a problem, just because they are more pigs at feeding time. The Copperband has this long beak, and is just a little more dainty with the eating. Copperbands are beautiful fish, no question, but do indeed require more attention and care.

I should ask, too, what is your main motivation about getting a Copperband?
