Blue Reef Chromis

[bradbmbj]

I have never seen these at any local stores, they seem to be hard to find, any particular reason the greens are more popular?

whoa blue chromis??? I'd like to have one. Never seen one yet but would love too

Blue-green reef chromis are the same thing. They are called that becuase they are iridescent between both blue and green. Blue chromis, Green Chromis, same thing.

I seen them first on Liveaquaria... I would love a shoal of these, just wondering why they seem unpopular

The Blue Cromis (Chromis cyanea) is from the atlantic. They are very bright and a great addition to a reef tank. Some people say they will windle a group down, but that probably depends on tank size.

They are sweet.

I have seen the blue one's they are nice. I think the green are just more popular for some reason.

Hey Luther, I will be sure to QT them in RO wastewater
sorry dude, I couldnt help it, you have been all over me all weekend, Do they still look like a chromis in the eye area, or more like a blue devil?

I think popularity has more to do with price then preference.

I read that the blue reef chromis will not school after they reach a certain size. Then the #'s will dwindle down to one as the dominant one kills the others off.

 

[bradbmbj]

what the heck? change a shade of a color and you get a serial killer?

Territory, man!

that has been my experience....... started with 6 and down to three and one shows dominance over the other two and I notice it dorsal fin has a darker line on the top edge.... it even stakes out a spot and chases everthing else away from it from time to time.. Like the nori clip..
