Yellow Chromis

(Chromis analis)

Chromis should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work should be provided for resting or hiding. Chromis prefer a strong water current which in the wild provides them with a large supply of Zooplankton. Chromis readily accept most diets of meaty and algae based foods which should be fed multiple times daily to satisfy their grazing behavior. Chromis should be housed with other peaceful fish so they are not out competed for food. Chromis are generally reef safe but research each species carefully to ensure adequate habitat. Juveniles and adults may display color differences. Adults may also see color differences during courting and spawning, males tend to be larger than females.

The Yellow Chromis is also known as the Yellow Puller. Yellow Chromis Rarely seen in the aquarium trade but quite lovely. Yellow Chromis have a beautiful all over yellow coloration, including their fins. However, they have been seen with white pelvic fins and somewhat of a light yellow to gray body color. They can grow to 6".
