Hi I'll be geting my first fish next week and I can't decide between 2 clown fish or 3 green chromis I don't want any aggressive fish if one of them are? And are they both hardy?
Both fish are generally a hardy fish, and easy to keep. The chromis are schooling fish so odd number multiples are good - 3 or 5, but not 4.
Chromis are fun to watch as they all swim in a pack and when spooked, will are dart away, and then (5) seconds later they join back up and swim together again.
Clown fish are just like the name... clowns - they will have great personalities, recognition, swimming upside down, etc. Fun to watch and interactive.
Both should do great in a 72 - Also, there are several types of clowns so be sure to research thouroughly on the temperments - there are some that are more aggressive, ie Maroon clowns.
Lcars said:Ok then that would be fine but I have never heard of chromis in trios but who may I ask told you this? They could be right I'm just used to hearing them liking to be in groups of 5 or more
