I bought 3 chromis a few days ago(Friday), did my acclimation and added them to the tank. Saturday, one came out and was very active and eating. The other two has not came out yet. Even today, I have not seen the other two, so I'm a bit concern. These chromis are about 1". Currently, I have 2 maroons, 1 blue tang, 1 yellow tang, 1 Lyretail Anthias, 1 Harlequin Tusk. Maybe they are still hiding and I'm just being paranoid. When should I be really concern? Thanks in advance.
 
They are shy, one of mine is really brave so he swims with his budds while the other two hide and occasionally come out and for some reason the brave one killed one of his brothers :( that's another mess to take care of :mad:
 
If your fish have territories from being in the tank awhile any new fish will be bullied probably till their death especially peaceful ones. I would not recommend putting any fish that is not moderately aggressive to an established tank.

I have a school of green chromises.....I had 2 to start and I now have 7...lucky have not lost a single one yet......considering
I got a large carpet anemone which would love to feast on them
Don't be surpised if you see them hiding on rock or on top of your tank corners......they can be pretty delicate fish to keep alive,but also can be hardy if adapt to conditions.
 
Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedbacks. I was just wondering tho, if they havent came out or plan not to for a while, arent they gonna starve? Thanks.
