Saltwater Fish
Green Chromis.
A shimmering blue-green schooling fish — peaceful, reef-safe, and one of the best beginner saltwater fish for adding movement. Keep a group in a 30-gallon-plus reef; they shoal beautifully over the rockwork and get along with most everything.

Good tank mates
A truly peaceful schooling damsel that mixes well with most reef community fish like clownfish, gobies, firefish, and other calm species. They look and behave best kept in an odd-numbered group, since lone or paired chromis can turn nippy with each other; over time a group may thin itself out as a pecking order forms. Avoid keeping them with large aggressive fish, and don't expect the docile temperament of their more bullying damselfish cousins.
Good to know
In a group, green chromis shimmer between green and pale blue depending on the light, and on the reef thousands hover together over branching corals, darting into the branches as one when threatened.
Stock and individual temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice before you buy.
