Vanderbilt chromis

[rssjsb]

Anyone have experience with this fish?

I'm considering a small group for my new 185 (60x24x31), but I'd like to know whether they will be ok as a group or whether I'll end up with just two.

My original plan was for a group of five chalk bass, but I've read recently that they also will eventually end up in a pair so I'll probably just go with two.

TIA.

Every website and retailer (WWM, LA, etc) list them as one of the most peaceful of chromis. I've wanted a school of them as well for when I get a larger tank. Unfortunately, the only anectdotal evidence I have of them is from here: http://www.livingreefs.com/vanderbilt-chromis-t27551.html

This is where a 1" vanderbuilt chroms chased every fish around a 180 gallon tank. I have to assume this is not the norm since there is so many other websites listing them as peaceful. I'd be eager to see what your experience is.

Thanks for the response. I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, but if I go ahead with the Vanderbilts, I'll post again.
