chromis

These two have been at it for over an hour. Notice how the wrasse acts like a parent and breaks it up every so often. Entertaining.

So I have an orange line chromis that I noticed was missing some of his tail fin about a week ago but he’s going strong and eating. I’m not noticing any bullying going on, but obviously can’t watch 24/7. Today I’ve noticed strange patches on him that I need help with. I also have a black clown...

Saw this guy in my LFS without a label, and I really like his coloring. I'm guessing it's a chromis based on the body, anyone know?

Hi all, I just noticed a white line dangling from my new chromis.. I was wondering if this is some sort of parasite, maybe a nematode? If so, how do I treat it? No other symptoms, and is eating fine. (Not sure why the 1st picture isn't oriented right, it was level and isn't having any trouble...

Hi guys, so today I noticed my chromis damselfish was injured. the base of this tail where it attaches to his body had a hole clean through and the bottom of the tail fell off. there is flesh damage where the tail meets the body. my question is will he recover from this? I put him in a breeder...

I am currently planning a reef tank \with the Waterbox REEF 70.2. I am trying to figure out what livestock I want. I was thinking about adding two different types of chromis: 5 blue/green chromis and 5 Vanderbuilt chromis. I know that generally chromis are compatible with each other, but are two...

My anemone and Chromis

So, just noticed this swimming behind rock, looks like 3-4 of them. Look like baby fish, I have 2 Chromis and no other pairs of fish. It's not swimming like a Shrimp or crab Any thoughts?

hey guys i’m thinking of adding a 3rd fish to my tank (30 gallons). i currently have a young clown fish which is about 1.5 inches long and a young possum wrasse about 2 inches long. i’m planning to get this adult bluegreen chromis at the lfs who is about 3.5 inches long but i was wondering if...

What has your experience with blue/green chromis been? I've heard of and seen people not have great success with them, as a person thinking of getting some what should I know?

Hi, I recently added a couple chromis to my nano tank and they sadly passed away very quickly. I cant imagine it was due to water quality or acclimation. Took a picture of one of the chromis and seemed to have black spots on the face. No idea where this disease could have come from. My clownfish...

Can someone help with what is going on? I have treated with copper power for 30 days, Metropex for 3 full treatments. Is this bacterial or Uronema?? They seem to be eating very well and behavior is fine. They have shown these symptoms about 10 days after I purchased them, which was back in...

I've had my chromis for about a year now. She's been active, she grown a lot and then yesterday she quit being coordinated, has some stringy white poop and didn't eat (for the first time). I'm setting up a hospital tank this morning and will start treating with Prazi in her water and food. I...

Hello, tried searching for discussion about this but was unable to find much. I recently introduced a blue green chromis into my biocube 29. I have a firefish, perc and ocellaris as well in the tank. Everything was great for the first few weeks, but the past 2-3 weeks our chromis has been...

So it's nearly 5 months since this Chromis was born. I'm not trying to rear anymore batches until the temperature gets warmer (I cant keep anything other than my main system at a solid temps). This guy is in one of the tanks attached to my DT sharing a section with a clownfish, but separated...

Hi - newbie here. Need advice - sorry in advance for the long story. Recently set up a 130gal with 75lbs of dry live rock and sand. I did a fishless cycle (and added a bottle of API quickstart that came free with my sand) and at 4 weeks my water looked good after a decent ammonia and nitrite...

Hello do you think that the percula clowns (the 2 that I already had wich are aggressive eaters) Will be able to deal with more aggressive tank mates like the long nose hawk fish, coral bueaty angelfish, and a few cromis (the other fish are the rest of my fish list). And do you think having more...

I have a blue chromis, and he is not eating, not schooling (4 total chromis), and is being chased from his sleeping spot by the others, particularly by my blonde tang. The only change was a slight re-arrangement to the rock so I suspect that is what kicked off the aggression by the tang. Also...

It took me 15 years to put together this Tank Thread. This tank has many hair raising stories over it's lifetime. Many lessons learned. I have had many of the Reef Classic: Accidents/Events/ and Setbacks: -> Had a Massive Macro Algae Spore Explosion ( Algae went "Go sexual" and ->...

Hello all, I recently read two interesting things: * in FISH DISEASE - Diagnosis and Treatment, it's noted that Ich cannot complete its lifecycle at temperatures greater than 30*C / 86*F. The lifecycle is completed in 3-7 days at 25*C (and completes more quickly at higher temperatures), so I...

I live in California and I am an avid saltwater aquarist. I have one newly set up fish-only tank and a full reef tank. The fish-only tank is a 55g tank with a 30 gallon sump. There is at least 65 pounds of live Carrib-Sea Fiji pink sand and about 60 pounds of BRS Reef Saver dry live rock. I just...

Just like the title says I'm looking for a smaller colorful fish that has a lot of movement in my reef tank. I also want to have them in a group of say 3 to 5. My tank is a 70 gallon tank with a Christmas wrasse, tribal blenny, ocellaris clown, mystery wrasse, and a hi hat goby, oh and I have a...
