Hey all.
Two days ago, I purchased a blue-green chromis for my 75G. Other inhabitants include an ocellaris, a royal gramma, a Kole tang, a yellowtail damsel and a chalk bass.
Well, the chromis has taken to chasing my chalk bass and forcing him into his hiding spot under the rocks.
I have the lights off, but that hasn't really stopped the chromis from doing his thing.
He tried going at my damsel, but the damsel had none of it and fought him off.
So, what are some ways I can solve this problem? I'm thinking either:
a.) take the chromis to a LFS nearby (the place I bought him isn't close, so I'm hoping maybe a local store could take him off my hands as a last resort)
b.) add more chromis
c.) add more chalk bass
I know chromis can shoal, but I've also heard you're taking a chance of there being some aggression between them.
I've also heard chalk bass can shoal without much of a problem.
Any advice here?
