AND THEN THERE WERE THREE!

I purchased 12 Bluegreen Chromis two years ago and now they are down to three. I'll never keep them again. Nasty little fish; always picking on each other. I read somewhere that if they are fed small amounts at least five times per day the aggression may lessen. I tried this for two weeks and never saw any difference in their behaviour. I've always fed my fish well anyway so i think they're just plain nasty. Either that or the spawning male is screwing them to death. They spawn every week without fail and with a surprisingly large amount of eggs. For anybody who's thinking of getting some I'd advise against it.

Here's all twelve together taken back in February '09



And here is a typical spawn with the male guarding the eggs.
