✗ Not recommended in most tanks

Why

  • Schooling species — Blue Green Chromis needs 5+ companions; add at least 4 more
  • Size capacity hard block: Tank far too small (90gal for 300.0gal min)

It can work if…

  • Social concern — review this species' social requirements before adding
  • Schooling species — add at least 4 more companions for best health
  • Upgrade to a larger tank — this species needs more volume
