    REALLY??? well I take back what I said. I havent dont to much reading on them, I just saw it got like 6 inches long and was a damsel, so I thought it would get aggressive. Thanks milesm4 for the correction!!!

    I think you'll be so stoked on these guys. They look so awesome when you get 7+ of them and they school together it's amazing to watch. I read up a little on them and from what the book said was they "require" feeding four times per day. I have never fed mine more than once a day and mine have lived for three years. Oh and they're only like an inch and a half long.

    sweet! keep us updated. BTW the chromis that I have are the ones I used to cycle my tank after I moved. I think if more people started out with them instead of other damsels it would save a lot of fish aggresion head aches.

    Wow they are so neat

    HI,
    I have three green chromes and they change from a light green to a light lavander to a blue depending on the angle of the light they are so nice, they are always moving but tend to be the last ones up in the am when I power up all the lights it takes them about 10 mins to get up.. They had them on sale locally for 2.50 I wish I would have bought more.

    I had 3 Chromis. The first 3 salt water fish I ever had. Last week I lost one. he was 4 1/2 years old. the other two are still doing great. One has even developed the male streamers off his tail. People are always amazed at how big they are. My little baby Naso Tang is about the same size :)

    I also have 3 of them in my tank I started with 4 but one just disappeared, I never did find out what happened to it. :confused: They are a nice addition to a system. I did notice that they did school more when there were 4 of them but not so much now that there are only 3 :-/ John
