Choosing the right damsels and chromis for your tank
Damsels and chromis are comfortable in tanks of around 30 gallons and up, with standard reef water: 72-78°F, specific gravity around 1.023-1.025 and pH 8.1-8.4. Both groups are omnivores that eagerly take flakes, pellets, mysis shrimp and brine shrimp, and both are fully reef safe.
The main difference is temperament. Chromis, such as the blue-green chromis, are peaceful schooling fish that look their best in groups of five or more in tanks of 55 gallons or larger. Damsels, on the other hand, become territorial as they mature and may harass smaller or newer tankmates, so add them last and pair them with robust fish rather than shy species. Either way, provide rockwork with plenty of hiding spots.
