Aquarium Setup:
A larger tank is recommended, especially if you’re planning to have several Royal Gramma Basslets. But, they have been kept successfully in tanks as small as 10 gallons when only one is present.

If a small substrate is used they will enjoy digging and rearranging the sand or gravel. They need lot’s of caves and crevices, many Royal Gramma’s won’t venture far from their chosen home. It’s recommended to have at least two hiding places for each Grammar in the tank.
