Hello, I picked up some chromis, and ever since, they have been dying one by one. One day they will be fine, the next they will die. So far 2 have died, I am on my last one, and he is dying. Everything else is doing great, corals, fish, and shrimp are all thriving. What is going on?

Plus one to be known to pick each other off and also highly susceptible to Uronema. I never had much luck with Chromis. They’d slowly disappear one by one.

I have a chromis that has gone through hell the past 2 weeks, but is doing wonderful (knock on wood). Perhaps it is an unseen aggression and the last will be just fine. I wish you luck.

I got a bunch and literally watched them one whole day and they started killing off each other one by one. I know some stores say they are peaceful but they can be aggressive towards each other

Actually, that's pretty typical of chromis. They often drop like flies one a few days after purchase usually due to uronema or some bacterial disease.
