All About The Blue Green Reef Chromis

The chromis are the best fish to get for any newbies out there or anyone looking for a great REEF fish that won't be aggressive or eat your coral. These fish eat like a champ and always stay out and show off!!!

I got 5 of these yesterday there really active and nice to watch

[@W4RD1N8ER]

One of my faves! I absolutely love this fish real cheap yet colourful and they add to the reef when you have greens reds and blues with yellows and purples saltwater aquariums are just so beautiful. I do fresh water aquariums too fully planted but I get so captivated by my saltwater tanks and the fish. The relationships between certain creatures like watchmen gobies and pistol shrimp make this hobby interesting and keeps me doing it everyday. This fish so simple' fantastic colour and chilled nature makes them a must to have in a community tank they get along with other fish no problem.

[@gguo1027]

Very good

[@fishfan2]

My green chromis and firefish are best buddies

[@AccidentalReefer]

hey Brock, love your videos. Could you do a video on yellow tail damsel? Im debating on a small school of green chromis or yellow tail in a 65 gal + 20 gal sump

[@BrockLeonard]

Ray Mejia thank you so much ray! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5ylqXp-hrKGqrc Check this vid

[@florida7633]

What is the comp for the fish. If you get a blue jaw trigger in can you do a video on it? Great series

[@BrockLeonard]

Michael S I’ll def try! And thank you😁

[@DYLANTRIES]

Love these fish, I had 6 in my reef but once I moved them from one tank to the next I noticed at some point after that there was only 5 and I couldn't have forgotten one in the tank because they were in a 10G QT and that tank got completely disassembled soon afted

[@numberkidtheprimenumberfan1979]

ODD PAIRS

[@08.eclipse41]

can i put clownfish with these fish??

[@TheHemiphil81]

I really want to put 7 greens in my 260 gallon glass cages tank..i love these little guys .and 5 fire fish gobies.

My guide

[@blakemcclurkin4842]

Hey Brock, you should check out and do a video on the bicolor Chromis, very cool fish!!

[@BrockLeonard]

Blake McClurkin that’s a great suggestion! Thank you buddy

[@racso415]

I have 4 in a 80 gal tank, but one is always left out of the pack. I wonder if it's because of the even amount? I've been considering getting a couple of more but I've read that they tend to fight each other off and ppl eventually end up with 1 or 2.

[@BrockLeonard]

They are a schooling fish and sometimes it’s multiple males that fight and one gets left out of the pack. You can try adding a 1-3 more to see if it helps but it’s not always guaranteed.

[@llee8825]

My trio are hilarious. They bite the spoon when I scoop saltwater to defrost frozen foods.

[@BrockLeonard]

L L They never run out of energy😂

[@NYGFRANK87]

Hey Brock would you ever consider doing an updated serious for 2024 including newer species you did not review ? Thanks

[@BrockLeonard]

For sure. I try to get videos out once a week or every 2 weeks. I’ve also thought about going back and doing “Part 2’s” of fish I’ve done before just cause you learn new things every day.

[@numberkidtheprimenumberfan1979]

​@@BrockLeonard Can you try Some other species of Angelfish?

[@NYGFRANK87]

@@BrockLeonard Brock2024! You make it all brief and super easy to understand! So far I have started with 2 clowns and a lawn mower blenny. That’s not including my clean up crew

[@BrockLeonard]

@@NYGFRANK87 that’s a solid start! I got a lawnmower currently in my display tank, love that little guy.

[@artificialecosystems5874]

I’m thinking of having a small school of these in a 90, I already have a percula clown, clown goby, and banngaii cardinal. My plans for the 90 are I ultimately want to get a yellow tang, and a kole tang. So would a small school of chromis be compatible with everything listed above?

[@BrockLeonard]

Trent that would work out just fine!

[@gguo1027]

I don’t know

[@heidisfishtank7543]

My mom wants to upgrade from a 29 to a 50-65 gallon and was wanting a school of these but she already has a springer damsel(he's never ever picked on anyone even though I know damsels are jerks. They told us springers are the most peaceful.) Could she do a school of these with the springer in the new tank?

[@rednamalas5079]

Heidi's Fish Tank you have good videos

[@worldofcoralsandtravel9819]

Hi check out Chromis in the wild kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqnbnnqLo52sars

[@scooterglass4497]

Curious if you ever tried the Chromis with your Springer Damsel. I have a springer with 4 Chromis and all seems well. 74 gallon Tower. Was 6 Chromis, then 5, now 4. Idk where body of 5 went. Found number 6. It appeared to me he was bullied by the other chromis and not the damsels but I cant watch 24/7. Only had them a few weeks. Will be curious to see how it goes long term.

[@tesusreef2625]

so... i got 2 of these from petco. I got the temperature at 78 degrees f and the water parameters just right. I fed them some small balls of food. very small. I keep them in a tank with my clownfish. 20 gallon tank. couple hours later at night, they are getting inactive. One is hiding behind the heater. Barely moving. Only the fins. Just sitting there... The other one is the same but hiding in the rocks. Is there a problem right now with their behavior?

[@BrockLeonard]

Is that clownfish chasing them at all so that they are hiding?

[@wmb6307]

Are the lights dim or off? When my lights dim, my chromis hide in the rocks. Sometimes they wedge themselves into small crevices in the rocks where they are laying on their sides and barely moving. It scared me the first time I saw it, but when the lights came up they were as active as ever.

[@jimmcdonald6036]

could i have 1 in a 10 gallon or would have have to upgrade?

[@BrockLeonard]

Betta Crafts You’d be fine with that.

[@jimmcdonald6036]

Brock Leonard Thanks

[@Kewanxful]

I have a damsel fish and it keeps chasing my three chromis, what should i do?

[@BrockLeonard]

Any chance you can catch the damsel?

[@AndrewSmith-qi8hj]

Hey man, I have 75 gallon how many do you think would be a good fit.

[@BrockLeonard]

3-5

[@TMAXXPUNISHER]

I have 1 and it hangs out with my clowns. They're 3 peas in a pod

[@BrockLeonard]

hahah I bet that's fun to watch

[@hi-lytediamonhalter6378]

Wish you had a better camera

[@christophercasanas386]

Would 3 be good for a 20 gallon?

[@BrockLeonard]

Yes!

[@domsantiago2155]

Can these fish be in brakish water. ?

[@BrockLeonard]

No

[@kaptainkpop6750]

I keep one in my tank and he school with my clowns

[@BrockLeonard]

Haha I love that!

[@gabe5476]

How many for an 29g biocube? All I have is a clownfish pair. Are these fish known to jump?

[@gabe5476]

Also what other fish do you recommend for my tank just want something to looks good, isn’t hard to keep and is not aggressive

[@BrockLeonard]

I have seen them jump. 3 would be great.

[@BrockLeonard]

Gabriel Veloz other fish for a 30 gallon... Royal Gramas, Gobies, small wrasses like six line!

[@gabe5476]

Okay yeah I have an acrylic top with 1/4” netting in the middle. I had a diamond goby but he managed to jump through the netting so idk I’m trying to find fish that are to likely to jump lol. You don’t think 2 clowns, 3 blue green chromis and a wrasse is to much? I’m pretty good with my water changes and have a very over powered skimmer.

[@BrockLeonard]

Gabriel Veloz That would be just fine!

[@izzymendoza3847]

I should have watched the video before I bought one

[@johnnyb9797]

Huma huma fish is trying to eat them Anything can be done?

[@BrockLeonard]

That's going to be hard to stop as they eat these in the wild. I would try feeding shrimp or something larger to get the huma full and away from the chromis

[@alexesco1521]

My are bullied the others and they have lot scratch is normal

[@BrockLeonard]

They can be pretty aggressive toward each other, I'd recommend feeding more often. A full belly fish is a happy fish.

[@Daault]

Temperment peaceful to everyone but themselves you need at least 5 to 6 from the domainate fish from killing each other

[@JavedIqbal-fd3zz]

Do they school?

[@BrockLeonard]

Javed Iqbal YES! 🐠🐠🐠

[@matel9477]

hey everybody

[@shirtdirt1874]

Yea I wish I can buy these at $4... These things are like $25+ on every website I see.

[@stormisuedonym4599]

They used to be cheaper, but after the pandemic all fish prices have just skyrocketed.

[@1982Jigsaw]

Why do they do better in odd numbers?

[@BrockLeonard]

Tbh I'm not sure, It's always just been a rule of thumb. I know in small numbers like 2, they will fight instead of pairing up.

[@1982Jigsaw]

@@BrockLeonard I’ve got a total of 9 in my current tank. I love how they school and how active they are... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqTZ4tniputfdk
