6-7 green chromis???

[duke62]

+1... But in all fairness Duke, you should warn them that this may take more than a few minutes to happen!

LMAO yes it does maybe an hour or so seriously it takes about a month or 2 till you start seeing the change

I only feed once per day frozen shrimp and they are fine. Once or twice a week i throw in some very small pellets

Nice I'm going to max reef today to see what they have.
Thanks for the help

I've had six Green Chromis in my tank for about 2 years with no issues and I don't feed heavy. Once a day frozen and pellets maybe twice a week.

Hey Jim
What to do what to do lol
I like the chromis colors there like a blue/ green. Don't want them dying in my tank and messing my chemistry up

 

[Jim]

I don't know if tank size has anything to do with it. For me they have always been hardy. They don't really school though.

 

[scapone]

i dont know they seem to die really quick if there is any change in parameteres

 

[Yonkers28]

I doubt they will school. I was at max-reef today and I'm waiting till they some dispar anthasia in that seems to be the best choice as of now

Sorry Dre, Over the past 20+ yrs, I've had them in various tanks, including a 170g, a 300g and my 450g, I overfeed at least 3x a day, and they still disappear 1 by 1.
Cheap...yes ...but I don't want any more, even for free!

It's weird but I believe you. I've kept these guys for many years never had a problem. Anthias on the other hand is exactly how you described your experience with chromis.

+1....I have a 215g and had 7 blue/green chromis....feed twice a day....1 by 1 the largest kills the smaller until he is the sole chromis. I just purchased 5 red stop light cardinals from Liveaquaria....arriving tomorrow. They are supposed to school and develop a hierachy w/out aggressiveness. We'll see!!!
