For a while now I have been realizing that chromis at all the LFS's near me have been stocking smaller blue/green chromis than I would say a year or so ago.

Is anybody else noticing similar? I feel that maybe there is a larger amount entering the hobby that are pen-raised versus wild caught. It would be nice to know they are mostly all pen-raised now.
 
I've gotten a couple lately that were tiny... I'm hoping the same.
 
Nope, they have just become more welcomed to the hobby so more and more on the LFS list.
 
Before that the LFS would get just bigger ones in even if they weren't on the list. Just a freebee, slowly people liked them cause of there shoaling and peaceful temperament
