Green Chromis (Asia 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.

A common import from the Philippines and Bali, this is one of the most popular fish to cycle an aquarium because it is extremely hardy and easy to keep. Its whole body is a silver greenish color which shines magnificently under the light. Larger individuals may bully small ones incessantly. Grows up to 3.5 Inches.
