May decide to try adding fish one more - Did and Bad news.

I am thinking maybe to try adding a few chromis to the tank. Since them may school together I was thinking of getting a total of 3. Would adding 3 of them to my 58 at once me a problem over adding 1 at a time?

Sice the tank is a 58G would I be able to add 2 more small fish down the road?

Sorry, what do you have it stocked with currently?

3 small chromis at once shouldn't be a problem I would think.

Do you still have acros in the tank or did you yank them already?

All the corals are still in the tank. I have NO other fish in the tank.

In that case, they could all be fully grown and you'd probably be just fine.

If they're juvenilles, I'd be shocked if there was any noticeable difference in your tests at all.

Obviously, don't overfeed though

Have you considered a candy hog fish? I have had mine for about a month or so and don't know how I had a tank without one before. It is very flashy and actually has a personality. Swims around the rock work alot and is out in the open. Doesn't hide all the time. Very cool little guy.

8 months and still 3 chromis... Love them. If I could, I'd have 5!!

They are so aggressive. If I had no fish they would be perfect. Other than that, I would use them as feeders.

 

[bleedingthought]

They are not all that aggressive. I'd say the least aggressive out of all chromis/damsels.

I must have had a mean one. They dropped like flies. The alternative is that there was something in the tank that killed the other 5 over two weeks but has been unable to catch the last one for the last 10 months.

Well, went LFS shopping for fish. Nothing good anywhere

NO chromis, only a few clowns, tangs, blue damsels, 6 line wrasse, and triggers.

One LFS took half of their SW tanks away.

I guess it will be no fish.

i have 9 of them in my tank they are great fish, they don't bother anything and they school up and chase ya as you walk past the tank looking for ya to feed them they are great..

Problem is no one carries them.

The only fish It looks like I will be able to get a blue damsels,

 

[fishinsouthga]

blue dams are mean

 

[Anonymous]

Then no fish for me I guess.

 

[bleedingthought]

Did you ask them if they ever get any of the chromis?

 

[Anonymous]

One LFS I dont talk to the owner anymore.

The other LFS does not special order. They dont want to be bothered.

 

[bleedingthought]

But, do they ever get green chromis in?

 

[Anonymous]

I do go there often. WHen I do its the same type fish all the time.

If I had good luck with mail order I would go that path. Since I dont I am limited on my options.
