Stop Quoting Me!
I didn't say I bought one:D
Ok, my ammonia is going down, the test is not quite green anymore, more like a yellowy green, so I'm getting closer to the big day! Once my nitrites go down, I've found my fish. I want Green Chromis. I know they're a little boring in color, but bear with me.
I'll give you the reasons why I'm picking it, you tell me if I'm making the right decision.
Pros:
1. They seem like they would be a good starter fish, they're cheap, they're hearty, and they can deal with some adverse water conditions. (Just in case I screw something up.)
2. At the LFS they seem to be very active fish So they're fun to watch.
3. I read they generally stay within the top 1/2 of the tank. Just in case something else wants the bottom.
4. They're not like other damsels as far as being aggressive. Relatively peaceful.
5. They are small, don't take up alot of space.
That's what it says on paper.
Cons:
1. They're small, could become dinner for somebody.
2. They should be kept in an odd numbered shoal ( which is also a plus, I've got 3 kids, get 3 Chromis)
So my question is:
1. What is your experience with the Green Chromis?
2. When starting a tank, everything I read states one fish at a time, 3 chromis are the size of 1 regular fish right? (90g tank) I will/would get only one if it won't damage him, but it seems like they're like horses and should be kept together.
What would you do?
