New fish!

[dory36]

Well, our 75g has just about finished its cycle and we've added our first fish. I know chromis is not the most exciting fish, but they look really cool when they swim together.

Thanks Todd and Jimmy! Here's another picture checking out one of their caves. I have my "blue" lights on in this one.

Nice looking fish post a pic of your whole tank

 

[dory36]

Thanks, guys. I'll post a picture in the morning. They're watching a movie right now and I don't think they'd appreciate me going in there and turning on the lights!

BTW, I meant my family was watching a movie, not the fish!

I find it better to take a pic of the tank, with the flash off, and the lights off, if yer doing a full shot. It really lets the true color of the lighting come out, and gives a nicer effect. Cromis are really nice. I wish I could have them, but they would tragically meet their doom

 

[dory36]

Okay...here's a full shot of the tank.

That really looks great Dory !!!!!!! Im really happy for ya Todd

Thanks Dory. I am waiting for my first tank to finish cycling. How long did yours take? I am 19 days into the cycle.:hilarious

 

[dory36]

My cycle took a little over a month. I was using uncured rock, so that might be why it took longer than our other tank did. Be patient and yours will cycle before you know it!

Nice chromis I tried a school this weekend and all were gone by the next morning. 3 dead in my filter compartment 2 MIA but found a spike in my ammonia. They were really small so maybe I'll trie with bigger ones next. Oh and believe or not my cycle took 2 weeks with live rock-I know it shocked me too.

Looks Great Dory!
Chromis are sold under the damsel heading on this sight. I guess they're not a pain in the a## like other damsels. I've never had a damsel and all I hear is that people say they regret getting them.
I'd like to get a small schooling fish. Chromis are good? Anthias? Anyting else.

 

[jacknjill]

do you think that 3 blue chromis would do ok, or does it have to be 5?

 

[dory36]

My lfs said to make sure I had an uneven number. I think 3 would be fine.

 

[jacknjill]

ok cool. i didnt know chromis could count lol

 

[hopkins6]

That is cool when they school.

 

[hopkins6]
