Green Chromis Death

[snorvich]

I have 7 in my tank with no problems heck I added two about a few months ago no issues

It takes a while before they start disappearing. A few months will only work for a while.

Please also note that three clowns in one tank is certain to end badly. The best you can hope for is that two of them will bond and kill off the other one, but there is no guarantee that two of them will bond in which case only one will survive long term.

Exactly. As juveniles there may be no problem, but once sexual differentiation begins, the most you can hope for is two.

I've had my original school of 5 for a little over two years next week actually...

the other 2 I added maybe 6 months ago never had issues they chase each other from time to time but nothing too aggressive

I started out with 12 in a 125G. 3 disappeared the fist month, then one each month for 3 months thereafter. Now 6 are left and are doing well (with much less aggression) so that seems to be the magic number for me. They've never bothered the other fish at all.

My tangs will go right up next to my group and hoover spreading out. A few of the chromis will peck at them like cleaners. Otherwise my chromis have 0 interaction with any of my other fish including a few female lyre tail anthias that will swim among them as well. Probably trying to hide from the male. lol


and welcome back Steve. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I have a green chromis with two clowns and 2 firefish. He thinks he is a clown fish and hangs out with them.
