En savoir plus
The Chromis retrofasciata is a Black-bar chromis, with a yellowish or ochre body. The caudal area, on the other hand, is rather white. Measuring around 4 cm, this small specimen is found in the Western Pacific Ocean, in lagoons and reef slopes. Like other animals of its species, it favors environments rich in corals. This chromis evolves alone or in small groups.
When maintained in an aquarium, the recommended water volume is a minimum of 200L. Additionally, the water temperature should be between 23° and 28° and the pH should range between 8 and 8.5. Becoming increasingly territorial as it ages, the Chromis retrofasciata requires daily monitoring to ensure no violent behavior occurs within the tank. Coexistence with larger fish is possible.
Common name: Black-bar chromis. This fish has a creamy oval body, a horizontal black band separates the white caudal fin. A school of at least 5 individuals should be formed to establish a hierarchy. It is recommended to have an aquarium rich in decorations to prevent the chromis from quarreling.
