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.
