Facts On Chromis

Rather than "facts on chromis" how 'bout "opinions on chromis"?
IMO - if you get a large group of chromis, and have a large aquarium, and if there are other large fish (not predators of course) in with them, the chromis will "seek safety in numbers" and get along pretty well. Kinda like they pick the lesser of two evils. Put four in a 75 gallon tank with few other fish, and they will often bicker and work on each other until there is one.
D'oh!, after I wrote that, it looks like you may be talking about mixing different SPECIES of chromis - sorry, nevermind, I don't have an opinion on that.....

You had Blue Reef & Blue Green together that picked each other off ?
Lol,,,Exactly. I meant the mixing of the 2
I just tossed 5 into a 125 with no other fish yet.
Shortly I'm sure I'll be starting to add more fish
I would have to agree. Many people buy them in anticipation of schooling or shoaling and they are often disappointed.

They're two separate species, from two different oceans...they wouldn't school naturally in the wild, so I'm not surprised that they wouldn't in an aquarium, either.
Thanks.
Mostly kinda wondering about tolerating each other though.
Some species just can't be with the same species.
That is why I was asking if anybody has kept them together before,and if so were there problems?
