Blue Reef Chromis Chromis Cyanea

Overview: The Blue Reef Chromis, with its dazzling blue hue, adds a splash of vibrant color and peaceful activity to any marine aquarium. Known for their hardiness and gregarious nature, these small, shimmering fish are perfect for both novice and experienced aquarists seeking to create a dynamic underwater scene.

Origin: Hailing from the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea and the Western Atlantic Ocean, the Blue Reef Chromis thrives in reef environments. They are often found swimming in large, loose schools around coral formations.

Feeding: Omnivorous and not particularly fussy eaters, the Blue Reef Chromis does well on a varied diet of marine flakes, small pellets, and frozen or live brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. For optimal health and coloration, ensure their diet includes both meaty foods and algae-based fare.

Tank Mates: These peaceful fish coexist well with a variety of other marine species. Ideal tank mates include other small, non-aggressive fish, as well as larger, peaceful community fish. They should be kept in groups of their own kind to promote natural schooling behavior and reduce stress.

Aggression: Characteristically peaceful, the Blue Reef Chromis shows little to no aggression towards other tank inhabitants. However, establishing a hierarchy within their own species is common, especially in smaller tanks, so ample space is recommended.

Experience Level: Suitable for all levels of aquarium enthusiasts, from beginners to seasoned aquarists. Their hardiness and adaptable nature make them an excellent choice for those new to marine aquariums.

Water Parameters: To thrive, the Blue Reef Chromis requires typical marine aquarium conditions: a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and a specific gravity of 1.020-1.025. Regular water changes and stable water quality are crucial for their well-being.

Enhance your aquarium with the serene beauty and graceful presence of the Blue Reef Chromis – a true jewel of the sea.
