The Green Chromis is a dazzling little fish that's one of the most popular choices for reef keepers. They appear iridescent blue and green in colour. It is a member of the damselfish family and a shoaling species that should be kept in a group of 6 or more specimens that are introduced at the same time. They remain fairly peaceful throughout their lives, so tank mates should be of similar disposition. Larger, more dominant species like tangs and angels should be avoided as they may prevent the chromis from feeling secure whilst predatory species will almost certainly eat the Chromis. Food can be offered in the form of smaller frozen meaty foods and live copepods.
