Sunshine Chromis (South Pacific)
Chromis are active, coral -safe fish with bright colors. They are typically safe with invertebrates; however, some large species may attack small shrimp. Most species can be kept in schools together with their own kind, and we find a minimum of 6 to be the ideal number. They are known to be normally non-aggressive, although they may chase smaller fish. We recommend an aquarium of at least 30 gallons for chromis which grow to 3 Inches, and at least 50 for larger species and schools of multiple individuals.
Chromis are typically easy to feed on a variety of frozen or dried meaty and vegetable foods. Chromis are hardy and able to survive a wide array of aquarium conditions. They are related to damselfish and clownfish.
An uncommon import, but a spectacular fish indeed, the sunshine chromis has a blueish body that may shimmer purple under the light. Its back is painted a deep opaque yellow and its belly is white. The area above the eye may shine especially bright blue. It is a deep water species which typically lives off steep seaward reef slopes. Grows up to 6.5 Inches.
