Can a Royal Gramma live with...

[cookie]

A yellow tang and Orchid Dottyback (pseudochromis fridmani) that are already in the tank?

The dottyback might bully it. Those guys can be mean.

Or Vice Versa. These 2 fish together.... SCARY!!

I'd have to agree, multiple psuedo-type fish means aggression issues. Only very rarely i've seen more than one royal gramme live in the same tank and that has been totally a fluke. Its not something you can keep to a minimum with heavy feeding either as its a territorial type aggression.

It will aslo depend on the size of the tank. But agreed they will fight if there is not enough room for territory.

True, the only tanks that i've had success of more than one were 6ft+

I would have to agree. I had a strawberry psuedochromis and tried to add a royal gramma in a 46g and the psuedo would not allow it. I moved the gramma to a different tank until I set up the 390g at which time I combined everything and there was no problem with the two together. Plenty of territory seems to help.

One of my first saltwater fish was a psuedochromis. He was the meanest fish I've ever had!! I finally had to trap him and send him back to the LFS!

I don't think the two would get along
