Blue Reef Chromis

The Blue Reef Chromis, *Chromis cyanea*, is a vibrant and active addition to any marine aquarium. Its striking iridescent blue coloration makes it a standout in a reef or fish-only tank.

A minimum tank size of 20 gallons is recommended for a single Blue Reef Chromis, with larger tanks preferred for groups. They are generally peaceful and can be kept with a variety of other non-aggressive marine fish and invertebrates. Providing ample live rock with hiding places will help them feel secure.

In the aquarium, the Blue Reef Chromis will readily accept a varied diet of high-quality marine flake food, pellet food, frozen mysis shrimp, and enriched brine shrimp. Offering a diverse diet will help maintain their vibrant colors and overall health. They typically reach a maximum size of around 3 inches in captivity. Native to the Indo-Pacific region, they are considered a beginner-level fish due to their hardiness and adaptability.
