Wow! Those pictures of the fish, in particular the green chromis, are awesome.
 
Any recommendations to keeping a healthy school of green chromis? I was thinking of adding a school to a 90 gallon and have read mixed reports on success in captivity.
 
As a former ELOS owner, one of the best tanks I’ve ever owned. Great construction and engineering and from Italy!!
Beautiful purchase!!

If you're getting a bigger group, just assume that they'll have Uronema and treat for it. It's so common that it's best to just be safe. For the first week or two, feed small amounts very frequently; they have high metabolisms and they'll be using a lot of energy as they settle into their social hierarchy.

I suspect that many of the reports of them killing each other off, etc. are actually early disease or nutrition problems.

Thanks, appreciate the info.
