Royal Gramma | Royal Dotty Back - Differences?

[SHARPiE]

Hi Guys,
I ordered in a Royal Gramma from my LFS. When I went in, they advised me they had ordered the wrong kind... (Royal Dotty Back). I haven't made a decision as to whether I want to take the Dotty Back over the Gramma. But I was hoping someone knew the differences.

The main difference I have noticed is that the Gramma's colours "fade".
Whereas the Dotty Back's colours are more of a sharp line.


Are there any differences between the two?
-Diet
-Compatibilty
-Tank Size
-Rarity
-$$
-Species (IE Basslet)


I have spent ages googling this, but can't find any real destinctions, other than you can't keep them both together.


Thanks in advance guys.

Royal dottybacks are more peaceful than royal grammas and cant be kept with royal grammas.
The royal dottyback has a transparent/translucent dorsal fin, while the gramma's dorsal isnt transparent or translucent at all.
Last, the grammas colors fade from purple to yellow, but there is a very fine line between the dottybacks purple and yellow coloring.

Thanks for that, I'm going to go in tomorrow am., and get my next project tank - 165g.
While I'm there, I think I'm gonna ask them to get me in the gramma - 2 week wait.

Cheers
