the green chromis probably won't make it in a 40 breeder. One will kill the other. I 've seen it time and time again, someone starts with 2-5 and within a year, they end up with one. Just how it goes. Be careful with the clowns, I know they are both maroons, but if one looks different than the other, they can snap one day for no reason.

didn't know that about the green chromis

I only have the one maroon clown
