I agree with duanes.
They are a relatively calm fish when kept alone or in the right company. But they can be really frustrating when kept with the wrong fish. That is because the grammodes doesn't really fight like most of the other centrals. Not much of flaring or lip locking. After a few warnings the will immediately start with damaging attacks. Mostly resulting in heavy wounds or worse.
You need fish which can easily stand their ground. Which might be difficult to find for you tank size.
I can imagine that salvini could work, but that is more like an educated guess.
All this is based on my on my most times good but also sometimes really frustrating experience with this beauties.
