I havent seen my green chromis in two days. The last time i saw him, i was swimming around just fine, breathing seemed normal but he didnt go for the food when i fed them. Could he be dead in a hiding spot?

Hmm 2 days seems like a long time to be hiding. I had 3 blue chromis now down to one but they hide every night and then come out a little later in the morning. The only time that they didnt come out in the morning was when they had died and were being munched by the clean up crew ... The largest of the 3 picked at the other two until it was too much at least that is my guess. He of course is now growing just fine by himself but I had wanted a few chromis. I hope yours comes out safe and sound.

thats what im afraid of. my blue velvet damsel seems to be gettin pretty aggressive, the blue devil handles him fine but the chromis always runs

My damsel nipped the tail off my chromis till he died. And that was in my 55.

if u dont have more than 5 or so chromis they will pick on each other remeber they are in the damsel family!

but isnt that too big a bio load to add at once? if i go to other species will the damsel and devil do the same to them?

found him he was stuck between the glass and a powerhead. musta not been able to get out. poor guy. ive since moved both powerheads so they cant get wedged that way.
