Gramma dejongi Hybrid is spotted at B-Box Aquarium in Japan

3


We knew that a Gramma dejongi hybrid with Gramma loreto was bound to turn up sometime and heer you have it, a perfect blend of both Dejong’s gramma and the royal gramma. What we find most surprising about the Gramma dejongi hybrid is how differently it appears from a regular Gramma dejongi which had a cuter face and a more slender body.

If anything this hybrid validates the unique morphologies of both of its parent species and you have to love the neat pink-purple markings on its head. B-Box Aquarium was the lucky recipient of the hybrid Gramma dejongi from DeJong Marinelife in Holland and if a full-blooded dejongi sells for beaucoup bucks, we hate to know the astronomical price tag on this one of a kind specimen of rare reef fish.

    Nice fish, but you can get the probably 100x cheaper and a bit nicer royal gramma hehe.

    I’m with you Mathieu, it’s hard to beat a perfect looking $10 royal gramma. But still I’d love a dejongi, someday.

    dejong marine has pulled in a couple of these dejongi x loreto hybrids in the past but i believe this is the first decent photo that has been released.
