Chromis

[lsu_fishfan]

Would it be safe to add a school of chromis to my 60 gallon? There is already a pair of clowns that have been there for almost a year. I also have a six line wrasse. Would the fish show aggression to the chromis, or would they be able to live together?

I have a six line that is mean as hell. I might suggest pulling out the six line and maybe rearrange your rock work a little, then add the Chromis and finally the six line back in. No guarantees though.

You can borrow mine if you want! I caught a Red Coris wrasse in less than 5 minutes after I spent weeks trying every other possible way of catching him, which included a small fishing pole with a hook. Jk

Or better yet, don't put the six line back in. That's what I did, mean little turd!

The chromis will likely end up as a single fish. They tend to kill each other off over time. If you decide to get some please QT them first. They are highly succeptible to Uronema</em> infections and can easily infect your other fish. Uronema</em> is quite deadly.

I would rehome the sixline. They are way too mean for my taste.
