its possible but chromis do like to hide in the rockwork when they are scared or want out of the open they could be still getting use to you.


what are you feeding them??? it would help very much to make sure that they are getting garlic in their food if you are feeding frozen or flake just soak before adding

keep stress down in the tank so watch the two and make sure they are getting along day and at night alot of stuff goes down during the night


the ich can be in the tank and the fish do not necessarily die, its just important to keep the fish alive and strong......basically swimming and eating

even with garlic in the nls pellets i would still buy some garlic extract and really soak it in this will help they fight off the parasite.its also important not to stress them out.

Everyone looks much much better.
I hooked up the other pump and they perked up immediately.
I also ordered the filter basket from intank because I find the stock setup pretty ineffective.
yay! thanks!

when I turned the other pump on I noticed there were pinky nail sized white shrimps popping up . What are these ? where did they come from? will my fish eat them
