# of chromis in my 125?

[ShootinBlanks]

I have a 125 gallon tank with around 200# of LR and my fish include a kole tang, foxface, sixline and 2 percs. How many chromis could I add? Thanks

I put 6 in my 120g. Makes a nice display.

I have 5 in my 75. Yes, they do look nice in a school.

What else is in your 75?

I have a 50 with a 20 gal sump: 2 percs,tang and a goby. Do you think i could add some and if so how many? How do you need to school?

I have been told that chromis are one of the larger aquarium schooling fish. My well trusted LFS told me that they need larger tanks arond 90 if you want a couple. My LFS also told me that I should go with gobies instead.

What kind of gobie?

In addition I have 3 clowns. The chromis I have are the little blue/green. They are so unlike the blue yellow tails I have in my 29gal. I have never seen them do any picking at each other or anything else. Although I have seen them feed on what I think was a spawning of some sort. Kind of a slimy thread event. The 75 has been running since Oct 1, 02 and also has a handfull of little left handed crabs a scarlet reef crab, 3 fighting conchs, 1 olive snail, 1 brown brittle star, 1 emerald crab, usual pods etc. A few mushrooms and zoothids. No sump. Contemplating a large sump in the basement, closed loop, lighting upgrade to MH. Running two Penquin 660's for circulation and the PM HOT1 skimmer. Actually just waiting to get the hood built for the lighting. Currently 2 NO bulbs. Nothing requiring high lighting at the moment.

Plans include some corals down the road. An anemone. No Tangs or Angels or other larger fish.

I was thinking about adding 4 or 5, but was worried about the bioload. I don't want to overstock the tank. I'd really like a schooling fish though.

I have five in my 125 along with one yellow tang, two clowns and a damsel. I really wanted six but they only had five when I bought them.

I saw 15 green chromis in a 175 once, they all are thriving 6 months later.
It alsohad a hippo tang, several wrasse's, flagfin angel, and a coral beauty.
It wasn't my favorite set-up, I thought there was too many.
