Remember when I realized my Barnacle Blennies aren't Caribbean? Well, I've broken the biotope rules again today. I was down at my LFS and came across a nice school-sized group of chromis. They are a mix of yellow and blue and quite pretty in my opinion. They are Vanderbilt Chromis-eight of them. They don't get big and ugly, but I read mixed revues on their aggressiveness. It seems they're best kept in schools. They are also supposed to be very hardy and long-lived.
I guess I'll need to remove Caribbean Biotope from my tank info.
After the Blue Chromis debacle, I have pretty much given up on them, but I really wanted chromis - but not the usual blue greens. I have admired the Vanderbilts before and today was just serendipity. They are in QT, looking very active and curious. They taste every speck passing by.
Assuming all goes well, these guys will go in the display right after Halloween.
