Overview

Chromis are active swimmers and will feel most comfortable in a shoal with other members of their species. They can live fine with most other community fish and are completely reef safe. Their diet should consist of live, frozen and flake or pellet foods, both meaty and herbivorous. Vitamin rich foods will enhance their color and help keep them vibrant.
