The Blue/Green Chromis is a spectacular addition. I had one in my tank years ago and was surprised by its personality and actual beauty that comes out that is hidden at first glance. They are much better in school. Best of luck. I like all your ways of going about things.

I'm a pretty new reefer, about 9 months in. One of my early additions were 3 BG chromis, hoping for a little school, but ran into trouble with Uronema, and wound up with a sole survivor which is doing fine to this day. I also tried 3 Springer Damsels a little later on, but one of them got pretty beat up and eventually died. I'm assuming by the other two, although I never witnessed it. Maybe I'll attempt some more BG's after watching your video. Thanks for all your efforts and sharing your knowledge and experience, I really enjoy your videos.

Hi Tim, it can be hit or miss, but I’ve had success with the school when I followed what I learned about them. 3 might have been too small a group. Try a minimum of 7 all close in size. Feed a few times a day, and see what happens. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻

There is a very similar species called the black axil chromis that supposedly don’t kill each other off. They’re pretty hard to find unfortunately. I bought some purportedly black axil chromis a couple of years ago. They were all tiny and grew but still ended killing each other off. I still have one left. I also suspect they were the regular blue green chromis.

Hi Corey, either of the hyggers will work. I’m not so sure the larger one will make that much difference. It looks like the same housing as the smaller one. But 2 would be necessary. And cleaning frequently a must. Like once a wee. They slow down when the get dirty.👍🏻
