Weber's 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 Weber's Chromis are also known as the Weber's Puller. Not commonly seen in the aquarium trade. This beautifully colored fish is a light brown to gray color with hues of bronze, the soft dorsal, anal and pectoral fins have a yellow hue to them, black stripes behind the eye and head and dark tips on the caudal fin. They can grow to a little over 5.5".

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