Acares Midget Chromis

Chromis should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work should be provided for resting or hiding. Chromis prefer a strong water current which in the wild provides them with a large supply of Zooplankton. Chromis readily accept most diets of meaty and algae based foods which should be fed multiple times daily to satisfy their grazing behavior. Chromis should be housed with other peaceful fish so they are not out competed for food. Chromis are generally reef safe but research each species carefully to ensure adequate habitat. Juveniles and adults may display color differences. Adults may also see color differences during courting and spawning, males tend to be larger than females.

The Acares Midget Chromis is also known as the Midget Chromis. Acares Midget Chromis are quite lovely with light blue to gray body color, may have a yellow spot on the rear of its body and a black white edged anal fin. Juveniles may have an orange to yelow colored caudal peduncle and face. Rarely seen in the aquarium trade. They can grow to 2".
