Gramma dejongiis a super new and rare little reef fish which we have written about extensively but there has been much less information regarding the inevitable cross between DeJong’s gramma and the royal gramma,Gramma loreto. Right before InterZoo we made a little detour in Holland to visitDeJong Marinelife, where we were overjoyed to see a perfect beautiful and rather large hybridGramma dejongi.Even under subdued lighting DeJong’s stunning hybridGramma真正站在了大胆的红色颜色的标记that were highlighted by a deep yellow-gold body coloration.
This is not the first hybrid Gramma that has popped up in the aquarium trade as this winter B-Box Aquarium showed off their own littleGramma dejongihybridwhich displayed the same relative distribution of magenta and gold coloration, although this larger specimen seemed a little more mature. If we lived in Europe we would have snapped up this little hybrid gramma treasure in a hurry, but alas this little star will have to find a home with one of DeJong Marinelife’s regular customers abroad. We still have lots more great pictures of the amazing livestock to be found at Europe’s largest distributor of marine aquarium animals but this gorgeous specimen ofGrammais more than worthy of its own blog entry.
