Chocolatedip 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 Chocolatedip Chromis is also known as the Twotone Chromis. Rarely seen in the aquarium trade. Like its name this deliciously colored fish looks like it was dipped in chocolate. Its front half of the body is a dark brown and the back half is white. They can grow to a little over 3".

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 50 gallons or larger for this species.
