Feeding Blue-Green Chromis

[reefer44]

I am going to get 4 and i was wondering what they eat...flakes frozen, brine shrimp amphipods (i have all of these foods just wondering which is the best) also the reason i ask is because i haev heard they can be picky eaters
thanks for ur advice

My experience with Chromis is that they are not very picky. Mine eat flake food, frozen brine, and even Nori...

Mine gobble up just about anything, flake, mysis, plankton, zooplankton, krill.... even a few floaties if you know what I mean.

IMO buying 4 isn't a good idea.
I have never found them to be picky eaters. They pretty much eat everything I put in the tank.
The favorite trick mine have learned is to hang out in the current of the return and pick out the bugs sent up from the refugium.

why not get 4? i heard they can school in small groups

Bang has a theory about getting odd numbers of them..3 or 5, but not 4. I have 3 myself.

Mine eat anything. I feed them spirulina mysis shrimp brine dried blood worms they are downright gluttons. I know I read some where odd numbers are the way to go. 3,5,7 etc. I have a total of 5.

1, 3, 5 or more IMO. 6 is fine but not 4.
