Soneca-II Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi, I have manage to get 3 small green/blue chromis last week ( for what i had investigated they should be kept in odd numbers ). Sincerely at the moment i have no issue with them. After some troubles with the okinawa goby and the clowns, this ones are super easy so far. Only issue was on the first night to discover that they were completely missing and they reappeared next morning from a rock LOL. My only concern is to know how much do they really eat. They are just small pig's with a crazy swimming speed :|. Is this normal since they are more active fishes than the other two species that i have or should i be carefull if they cannot manage the quantity like the other ones? Thanks in advance again RR Link to comment
ABC Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 They need small amounts often 3x a day or more if possible. The extra feedings can help with the aggression from the more dominant fish to the less dominant one. Link to comment
Soneca-II Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hi, Does the dorsal fin up means dominant behavior? I can see this from one of them from time to time Link to comment
ABC Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 It very well could, chromis are a shoaling fish and will form a pecking order or hierarchy often times in reef tanks the one lowest on the totem pole gets picked on and doesn't get to eat as well as the others. Link to comment
Groot Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I feed my tro 2x a day for the most part if I'm working they only get fed once a day. They are healthy and fat. Link to comment

They are healthy and fat.That's great they do really well in some tanks and not so well in others, I'm just trying to give suggestions as to what I would do for the most chance of success. What size is your tank and how long has it been set up. Link to comment

What size is your tank and how long has it been set up. NP its a 42 gallons and its been running since April. There is a pecking order with them but the smallest one has no problem eating.
