Should I catch and return these?

[Schulks]

I picked up some 'black and gold 'chromis'' from my LFS. They are really small, just over an inch, and I figured my tank has plenty of swimming space. I sort of trusted the LFS and now I did the research that I should have done before..

Apparently they get to 5" and are jerks.. they aren't even really chromis. I've read they should be kept as singles or mated pairs and I have 3. My tank is 50 gallon with mostly peaceful fish. My clowns are approaching 3", Royal Gramma is at least 3.5", shark nose is about 2", and a YWG about 3.5" so the 'chromis' are much smaller than everyone else even the shark nose.


Should I just keep them until/if it becomes a problem? To properly learn my lesson...

I would return them now before something gets injured other than your trust. You have learned one lesson and don't need another one. Good luck.

GET RID OF THEM. Nasty fish when they get older and not pretty. Mine is named Troll. He sits under a rock and comes out to just chase other fish around. Butthead.

Also not a chromis… its a scarface damsel. No clue why places sell them as black and gold chromis… probably to get rid of them while they are still pretty and little
