Can a Blue Green Chromis Live With a Tessalata Eel?

✗ Not recommended in most tanks

Verdict from our compatibility engine, assuming a typical 90-gallon reef tank. Score: 0/100.

Why

  • Tank heavily stocked (253%) — over recommended load
  • Size capacity hard block: Tank far too small (90gal for 200.0gal min)

It can work if…

  • Tank is nearing capacity — consider removing a resident before adding this one
  • 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
