Question
Yesterday I just added a royal gramma he hides ALOT!! could you tell me whats wrong is he just getting used to the tank.

Answer
HI Seth. Grammas are secretive fish, making use of the maze of rockwork crevices to travel from one location to another without having to cross open water. Their highly territorial nature demands that they live solitary lives. If you have a lot of rockwork in your tank then this fish is simply making himself at home and doing what comes naturally to him. I would be more worried if he was constantly in sight rather than hard to find! Your fish is acting completely normal for his kind.
