    The problem is that live aquaria makes u pay like 40 dollars minimum for live stock before u can order anything then u have to pay like 30 to 40 dollars for shipping and If i were u I would just go to my lfs and get them there

    ohhhh i thought restricted ment they were super rare or something, guess im not getting those

    yea i think ill either go with the McCoskers or 3 chromis, i would like to get 5 crhromis for bigger numbers but i think that would be to much on my tank so guess ill just stick with 3

    About 25% of chromies die shortly after being added to a tank. That is just the way they are.

    so you think it would be safe to go ahead and get 5 if they have them? i mean their only $3.99 i think i like the idea of having more fish than just 1

    I would get 5, because chances are some might die, and I think because of your clowns, the more fish the better. Also, if you do sell off your livestock at the end of the year, they won't be in your tank too long if they do outgrow it.

    thats kind of how im thinking, the more numbers the better. and if they die its not like it would be too big of a deal because their sooo cheap

    so i called the lfs thats farther away and they said they didnt have the chromis, only one little guy was left. so they said to call tomorrow because that's when they get their shipment in. Thankfully my mom is off of work so she might be able to go down there during the day if its not raining to hard and buy the chromis
