3 Green Chormises

[bdhough]

I have a 12 gallon saltwater tank with about 11 lbs of live rock right now. I currently have 2 green chromises but was wondering if i might be able to add a 3rd??? I will be operating with just the filter in the tank, no protien skimmer and biweekly water changes. Any thoughts?

you could add a third if you do weekly changes. Just my two cents.

Should be okay, but one question, how long have you had the other two. because from what I know they are a natrally shoaling fish and like being kept in groups. If you have had the other two for half a year or so ,there is always the chance they will not accept the other one, but the chances are so slim so I say go for it! and have fun with these fish they are very cool fish and I have some of my own, they are rad.

I've had them for a month. And I dare say they are different species. One is a black axil or black fin and the other is a blue green but they look almost identical except for coloring and they get along. I just don't have time or money for weekly water changes so i don't know. At least i know i could get another....

I say, add two more. They're great little hardy fish, lite on the bio-load (no such thing as uneaten food with these guys) and if you add an equal number to what you have chances are you'll get less ganging up.
