Well since my fiance' and I are looking to add some more to our tank I thought that a small school of fish would be a good final fish addition to our tank. We have alot of nice reef rock formed in a way to provide lots of caves and pass throughs.
Would adding 3 or 4 of these be alright for this tank? We've been established for two years now without an issue. The only thing not shown in my sig is a now medium sized cleanup crew and a peppermint shrimp.
If you don't think the Royal Gramma's are a good addition let me know your opinion(s) on what would. Our tank seems a little lonely.

I think that the three or four royal gramma is a great addition to your tank. Just do not over crowd.

Thanks for the reply! Overcrowding shouldnt be an issue since these will be the last fish entry to our tank (outside of *maybe* a blemmie). My biggest concern would be Snoops, our Tang, and his ability to bully fish for thier lunch money. I keep threatening him with thoughts of Mantis Shrimp species only tanks but he sees through the bluff.
;)
Anyhow hopefully a school of the Gramma's will keep him on the straight and narrow. :)

Royal grammas are very terratorial fish and will be aggressive towards any fish. I have not heard of putting more than one in a tank because they will fight each other, but I am not sure of that with a tank of your size!

Hmm...well my Aquarium book lists them as one of the top 5 school fish for tanks between 50 and 100 gallons.
Anyone have experience with this?

Heading to the lfs tonight but would really like opinions or experiences with this before I stress any fish.
I think from now on I need to title all my posts "Naso Tang, Powder Blue, and Clown Trigger in 10Gal OK?" - I know that will get some responses :D
