Vanderbilt"s Chromis / Chromis vanderbilti

skinz78-albums-r2r-fish-database-damsels-picture16546-scan0004.jpg


Scientific Name - Chromis vanderbilti

Common Name - Vanderbilt"s Chromis

Size - 2.4" ( 6 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.
