Purple Chromis / Chromis scotti

skinz78-albums-r2r-fish-database-damsels-picture16539-scan0006.jpg


Scientific Name - Chromis scotti

Common Name - Purple Chromis

Size - 3.9" ( 10 cm)

Min. Aquarium Size - 55 US Gal. ( 208 L)

Foods and Feeding - Feed a varied diet, fresh, frozen, live, marine fare for carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. Feed min. 2 times a day.

Reef Compatibility - Excellent.

Captive Care - Keep in groups of odd numbers 5+, single specimens tend to be harassed by tank mates and do not fare as well as a small or large group. Aggression of the dominant specimen will be subdued in a group rather than just a couple specimens. Chromis tend to occupy the upper open water of a captive system and this is a plus for more recluse tank mates, in order to maintain the vibrant coloration offer enriched foods. Will readily acclimate to captivity, keep with less aggressive tank mates, provide adequate swimming space, and feed a varied enriched diet.
