Chromis

[Dipan00]

Is it just me or are these fish a little retarded. Heres the story in my tank. Bought 7 of them a few days. Doing great during the lights on. As soon as the lights go off they hover right at the overflow. 4 of them have already been sucked over I saw 2 and pulled them out but the other 2 are as good as done. Anyone have this problem or have a solution to this?

I had some chromis and they did the same thing. I put some plastic neting so that they couldnt get sucked over. How much rock do you have? Seemed once I got more rock they became more interested in hanging out in the crevices than by the overflow.

Can fish be retarded? Yeah just add netting to overflow or that plastic fencing material. Wait until they start kissing. You'll really think they are weird then.

Im gonna have to look into that netting. They are pretty tight when they school togther. I have about 125 - 150 pounds of live rock so there should be plenty of other places to chill besides the wher the overflow is.

I used the plastic netting used to keep leafs out of gutters. Available at your local hardware store. Hope this helps.
