Lance's 225 gal tank

[Lance]

Holy crap Chromis are prolific little buggers! Once a week like clockwork. The female (?) guards the eggs from all intruders, even keeping the Tuskfish and Lunare Wrasse at bay. The eggs are always laid in the same place; out in the open on the end glass.
From the thirteen I originally bought in January '09 I am down to five. Since arriving at five the bickering stopped. I suspect I now have one male with a harem.

They get pretty aggressive when paired or what? I'm down to 2 and they are definitely displaying some courtship-style behavior. I'm thinking I don't want them to get jiggy...

They're Damsels. That's what they do: pick on the weak one until it's gone and then move on to the next poor soul. Funny thing is though, I only had a couple of spawns when I had the larger group. Now that the group is five they spawn regularly.

Maybe you should sit them down and give them 'the Talk'.

I think it's pretty obvious nobody ever sat ME down for it so I wouldn't have a clue what to say

I'd pay good money to see that: Brett sitting down with a little blue fish discussing safe sex.
