Care guide

Caring for damselfish and chromis

Damselfish and chromis are hardy and colourful. Chromis are peaceful schooling fish; many damsels become territorial as they grow.

Temperament

Green chromis do best in groups in larger tanks. Damsels can bully later additions; choose peaceful species like the yellowtail damsel and add them last.

Tank

Give swimming room and rockwork to hide in.

Food

Feed small frozen foods and pellets several times a day.
