Thank You Joetbs. Got this fish about 9 months ago when i transffered a tank from queens out to LI for someone. It was an ugly 1" fish at the time. It has nearly doubled in size since then and turned out to be fairly attractive. I haven't seen one in any of the stores out here or anywhere for that matter. Looks like a chromis with a fancy tail. Thanks for the ID, i think i'll keep him.

i have a small group of them. they use to school but not much anymore. they r tough as nails. chromis r less agressive than damsels.
they r from red sea. not too many fishes nowadays r being export from there especially the regal angels.

Mr. Softy

are they agressive?

 

[Mr. Softy]

Not in my tank. Its the second largest fish in a tank of 10 fish. 90gl Bow. I wouldn't mind having a school of them. I'm going to keep my eye out for a few more.

It is a nice fish??

 

[reefman]

they mostly peck at each each just like with any other schoolings.
i got mines at ft a long time ago when they were importing from red sea.
