Lightning Double Bar Chromis
The Lightning Double Bar Chromis electrifies marine aquariums with an unexpected flash of color. This handsome chromis shares all the attractive features of the extremely popular Blue/Green Reef Chromis but with a bold color combination. The steely, gray-blue body color of the Lightning Double Bar Chromis is the perfect backdrop highlighting the exhilarating yellow streaks that begin at the peduncle (base of the tail) and trail along the top and bottom margins of its forked tail. This eye-catching color combination dramatically accentuates the swallowtail appearance of the caudal fin to impart a touch of elegance to this attractive fish. A school of Lightning Double Bar Chromis will immediately transform any large fish only, or reef aquarium into a note-worthy setup.

Added a school of Lightning Double Bar Chromis to my 120-gallon reef tank. The yellow streaks stand out beautifully against the gray-blue body. They’re active and form a tight school, making the tank look much more dynamic and colorful.

The fish are peaceful and don’t bother other species. After a few weeks, they formed a nice school and the tank has a much more lively feel. A great addition to any reef setup.
