About
Chromis cyanea, the Blue Chromis, is a stunning Caribbean species that glows with vivid blue colouration and a contrasting black margin along the dorsal fin. One of the most beautiful schooling fish for Caribbean biotope aquariums, it lives peacefully with most similarly-sized tankmates.
Care Guide
Keep in groups of 5+ for natural schooling behaviour. Feed marine flake, mysis, enriched brine shrimp, and spirulina twice daily. Peaceful with virtually all reef fish. Excellent dither fish. Provide good water flow and quality. Hardy once established. Best displayed against live rock with coral branching structures.
