jasert39 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 My lfs has a nice little reef tank setup...its a cube im guessing 30-40 gallons. Anyway they have a school of about 6-8, maybe 10 tops chromis in there. Just wondering if i could have a couple in a 20 long that i will be setting up shortly, they seem like active fish and look pretty good all schooled together. Link to comment
TTU_reefer Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 yea you could. I would put all ur eggs in one basket of them schooling though. Normaly they do, but not to tightly. Id think you could put about 5 chromis in the 20L as long as you skim heavy and/or lots of water changes. Link to comment
Schwazreef Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I had 3 chromis in a 20. Didnt dig it, too little space too much aggression. Eventually moved up to a 40 breeder, IMO that didnt help much either. Still lost of infighting. Id leave the chromis to the 55+ tanks personally. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 a much better schooling fish would be some kind of Cardinalfish... i forget the name but there is one in particular...hmmm Link to comment
jasert39 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 i though cardinal fish required more space the a twenty to have more than one. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 OH.. i know the name.. its Longspine Cardinalfish here is a link: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...-8%26safe%3Doff get a trio P.S. a 20long has 30" of vertical space.. thats good enough IMO Link to comment
