I thought blue chromies were mean after a while in the tank? The reason I ask I like the blue in the tank.
From what I understand they are best in groups, BUT can also be mean to each other ....Originally I added 3 to the 54G.....they killed 1....I then had 2.....Of course I lost them to ich :(
I bought these 3 at the same time....to hopefully have them become a "group" I never had the others mess with anything else in the tank before
so IDK about mean-ness to other tank inhabitants

There is a difference between the blue reef chromis and a blue devil damsel, although both are damsels technically.
Meowser, I have a new favorite fish that maybe you should take a look at. Check out the marbled wrasses. They will hold their own, yet aren't aggressive. Super active, very flashy, with a huge personality. I have them in three of my tanks and they are all great fish. After only a few months, they all eat from my fingers and swim around my hands when I am working in the tank (this is a bonus as when they are around, my clowns stay away, lol).

WELL...when I left for work this morning, one of my new Chromies was hanging out at the bottom of the qt :( NOT on it's side, not breathing heavy....just there
I had no time to check anything....so who knows what I will find when I get home.........I do have some water made up, so I think I will go ahead and do a small water change

Well it is dead.....so I now have 2 :(
Water tests came out fine....and no markings on it at all.....so it is in the log books as another unexplained fish death

OK...the blue chromies have been in the qt 2 weeks now.....they look perfect to me....ALTHO I did lose one last week, BUT I think it was due to the 3 man out syndrome....LOL...
SOOOO Should I be okay to add them to the 54G now??? I'm new at this qt business BAHAHAHA.....BUT if they are ready, I can then move on to my next fish selection
(altho I have no clue what it is yet)
