Blue Reef Chromis and Green Chromis Together?

BigEZ77 · 10/20/2016, 05:49 PM

Hi All,

Is it possible to have one of each in a 40G tank and be peaceful or will one attack the other?

Thanks,

In my own experiences I would not recommend this. Mine fought until one was left. Head three in a 90g.

what about 1 blue with 3-5 green?

40 is small for one damsel or chromis. Stick to just one.

no issues 3 green with 1 blue reef in a 29 gal. The green stay together and have their favorite holes in the rock to duck into, and blue reef gently motors about. The greens will chase away anyone that lingers about too long near their turf, but nothing serious.
