Started with 3 (no, not a school) and then there were 2 - for quite a while.

Sounds like they may have been eaten tho, over at CanMan's...

hmm I haven't lost one sense I moved over a year ago.. I thought I did but he showed up again... I think you have part of the Bermuda triangle in your tank. oh have you looked in your sump lately?

What if they are in a 55, is that a small enough tank for 2 to be considered a school?

nope, 2 is a pair. To be a school, there needs to be 5. (Ya, I made that up)

The only two fish in my 120g are a blue chromis that schools with our blue sided fairy wrasse. Darnedest thing to watch all day and night

Was hoping to to get maybe 4 more chromis, but would I be better off bringing home yellow tailed damsels instead? Don't have any anemomes in the tank, so that should eat any chromis (or damsels). Would appreciate stocking suggestions from the masters out there

Almost sounds like they need to be in a tank without anemoneis(sp?)or powerheads.Maybe a drilled tank with an overflow and a few returns drilled in.

It appears some people have luck with large numbers, but I have never had luck with three. One always gets picked on and killed. Then the remaining two fight until only one is left, unless they pair off, but that seems to be rare. In a real long tank (six foot), they will set up individual territories, and more than one will survive. That has been my experience anyway,

my experience with chromis has not been great...

started with ~7

lost one, then another... finally i ended up with 2 pairs...

1 dominant pair which quickly outgrew the other pair...

then the dominant pair took out the smaller pair...

the the remaining pair had a domestic dispute...

thus i have 1 guy remaining.

and NO, 2 in a 55 is still just a pair, you could put them in a goldfish bowl and theyd still be nothing but a pair!

personally i consider ~5 to be a school, no i didnt make that number up... i just trust Brad!
