Blue Chromis

[mike007]

I have had no luck on keeping these guys. I bought five of these guys and only two are live. They were large chromis and were eating well and three died in a couple of days. What gives we these guys? You see on you tube where there tanks have several and they seem to being good. I just wanted to have a school of fish. Any suggestions?

Hmmmm...that's strange. I've had 4 in a 43gal tank for around 18 months now, and they are doing perfectly well. I've noticed that they sometimes bully each other, and that some don't get as much food as the others due to this, but never anything that would kill one. I guess there's just one species that some people just have no luck with...for me it's Fungia coral.

Ive never had luck with a school of those either, I gave up on those things. But, if your tank is big enough perhaps you may look at Mono Argentus? Or other more peaceful Chromis perhaps.
