Chromis
46 species
Chromis are a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae, commonly found in reef environments. They are known for their schooling behavior and vibrant colors, which make them a popular choice for reef aquariums. Chromis species are generally hardy and can adapt to a range of water conditions, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They require a well-established tank with plenty of swimming space and live rock for shelter. A diet of high-quality marine flakes, pellets, and occasional meaty foods like mysis shrimp will ensure their health and coloration. It's important to maintain stable water parameters and avoid overstocking to prevent stress and aggression within the school.
