So, this is actually a few questions.
From forum searches, it seems that the likelihood of blue-green and green chromis coming in with uronema is so high that even quarantined fish vendors won’t sell them or won’t guarantee them. From reading more, uronema affects a number of fish, but is most often mentioned with regard to the more ubiquitous green chromis. Is it more or less equal likelihood of occurrence in all chromis? Or does it actually occur most frequently in only specific types of chromis?
If it’s specific to only certain types, does this disease occur most frequently in green and blue-green chromis because of their collection location? Because of rising stressors on the reef? Or because of increasingly crappy handling practices during capture and shipping?
If it’s equally prevalent in all chromis, is it just that we only hear about it the most with green chromis because of the cheapness of blue-green or green chromis making them more popular among new aquarists?
