Chromis kissing?

There was a thread on RC about chromis groups and it was maybe about 60-40 but certainly more death. Seems once down around 3 it works ok. We'll see. So far so good. Just the one incident of jaw fighting so far. I expect more eventually though.

I love chromis, great cheap little fish. I have found that 3 at the same time really is that magic number. I've tried 6, 12 and 15 at different times but the final number after a month or so always goes back down to three.
