Blue chromis

[mcsassy]

Are these fish little devils like the rest of the damsels or are they peaceful and could be kept in schools like the blue-green chromis?

I hope so. I just ordered some of these. I went to saltwaterfish.com and they are supposed to be pretty good with other fish!

Chromis cyaneus are not as peacefull as the more normal chromis viridis or chromis ternatensis..

I read that the cyaneus get up to 5 inches whereas the viridis get up to 3.5 inches...is this correct? How long does it take for them to reach adult size typically? 5 inches is pretty big for having a school of those and if that's the case I may just have second thoughts about getting a few of them them. (I was planning on getting a school of 5 for my 72 gallon)

If that's the only fish you have, then it might be okay.

No way...I'm not wasting my space on 5 of the same fish...that would be beyond boring! Plus I already have a few fish. Couple wrasses, a clown and blue spot puffer.

You're already at max with the fish you have.
