Another fish question

[Doug]

I have always been partial to the chromis school, Marie. They seem to stay together the best and have that beautiful colour under halides.

Their problem, as many have posted over the years, is some of them seem fragile, almost to the point of dont look at me wrong or I will croak. I still say the key to them, is lots of hiding places, so they all can go their separate ways when needed and multiple daily feedings.

So the last point, {feedings}, as with anthias, would say even with smaller fish, they still add considerable load by their feeding requirements. I even tried skimmerless in my large tanks, with a sandbed and only the turf scrubber filtration, to see if natural food levels would increase for them but besides the shrimp spawn, not much else.
