Welcome to Reef2Reef!I recently got some blue reef chromis from LiveAquaria for my 32 g. Thought they were supposed to be in groups so I got 2. But mine don't seem to like each other and one bullies the other. The bully doesn't bother my other fish though even though he is the biggest in the tank. They are quite different color blues - one is very dark and the other much brighter.
Good morning. I am confused, which is quite easy BTW, but it sounds like you folks are talking about damsels. I have 6 B/G chromis that I first purchased when starting my system the largest is now almost 3" and he rules the herd. I recently brought in velvet on a fish and lost several., they rode out the velvet. All 6 are still swimming and get along fine.I had two as my first two fish in my 75. Good eaters friendly mostly to all others I added.
Ate well (anything) and grew like weeds. Lost them and others to velvet a month or so back. I have pics of them on my Build thread if interested. I really enjoyed them
Is it not he same fish (chromis) just different color varation? Or are they actually different sub species? I assumed it was like the difference between an Ocellaris Clownfish and a True Percula Clownfish, Both are Clownfish
Blue green chromis(C. viridis) are a different species than blue chromis(C. cyaneus). While social in the wild, over time in aquaria, C. cyaneus can be pretty territorial to conspecifics.
