Green Chromis

[markreefer]

I introduced 5 Green Chromis into my 260 gallon tank 3 years ago when they were about 1/2" long. They have now grown to about 1 inch but dont seem to be growing any more? Is there a small species? I would have expected them to be larger.

they do stay pretty small, i think they get to about 2"

They will max out around 3" when full grown.

I have one approx 1.5 " for about 2 yrs.

I saw some massive green chromis at my lfs recently - honestly must have been over 3 inches. Sadly they were in a display tank, not for sale.

The four in my tank have not really grown much in the 8 months I've had them, which surprises me - they are such greedy little buggers, eating any and everything as soon as it goes in the tank, 2 to 3 times a day. In the same time period I have has a Hippo more than double in length.

do your chromis school? How many does it take to have them school? are they agressive?
Thanks!

they are very calm fish, they do school. most people recomend having 6+ to have a school.

I read somewhere that the Green Chromis will only reach two inches. I also read that they can live up to 15yrs in an aquarium and are very peaceful fish.

they won't school in your tank unless they constantly feel threatened by a tank mate......mine have grown from .5"-.75" to 1.75"-2" in about 11-12 months.
