Black Bar Chromis
The Black Bar Chromis originates from the reefs of the Western Pacific, and is usually found within branching coral heads. They are tan to yellow in coloration with a distinctive vertical black bar where the body meets the tail.
Provide a 30 gallon or larger aquarium, with plenty of live rock for these chromis to hide in. They prefer to be in groups of six or more. They are typically a peaceful species, unless they are housed alone.
The Black Bar Chromis is an omnivore and should be offered both meaty and vegetable based foods. Feed frozen mysis and vitamin enriched brine shrimp as well as a quality flake food.

Added a group of six Black Bar Chromis to my 40-gallon tank. They are active but calm, and the black bars stand out well against the yellow body. They enjoy the mysis and brine shrimp, and they hide well in the live rock. Very peaceful and easy to maintain.

Bought them for a community tank. They do well in groups and don’t bother other fish. The coloration is striking, especially in the light. Feeding them a mix of frozen foods keeps them healthy and active.

Perfect addition to a reef tank. They stay in the coral areas and don’t jump out. The group behavior is natural and they seem happy with the daily feeding routine.
