Well it's been a while since I've done one of these Fish Focus threads. I needed to take a short break for a while when I had a major disaster in my tank and was taking time to rethink what I'm going to do with it. This fish focus is a little different as I am seriously considering buying some as a first purchase as I start to restock my tank. The more information people can provide the more they will help me get going again!
This weeks
Fish Focus is on the
Blue Chromis - Chromis cyanea. They are members of the family Damselfish family (Pomacentridae) These chromis aren't seen in the stores very often however are very spectacular looking specimens.
This picture was taken by Witful and is in our photo gallery. (I hope you don't mind me showing off your fish Dave.)
Origin/Habitat
Western Atlantic: Bermuda, southern Florida (USA), and the Caribbean Sea. Including the Bahamas, Gulf of Mexico and Antilles
Size
4"
Sexing/Breeding
I haven't been able to find out much information about these fish in regards to determining sex, if they have been bred in captivity or even their breeding habits.
Notes
This Blue Chromis is a supposedly hardy specimen that does well in captivity. It's possible to keep them in groups as they are one of the more peaceful members of the damsel family.
Have you had any experience with the Blue Chromis?
What size tank would you recommend for a small group of about 5?
Do you have any photo's of your Blue Chromis that you would like to share?
Would you like to have one or do you find them boring?
Have you found them peaceful or aggressive towards other tank mates?
Are they good for a fish only tank or a reef tank?
Please share your experiences with them! Remember the more information you can provide the better as I am seriously considering getting some within the next couple days!
