Black Bar Chromis

What is the Swell Black-Bar Chromis?

The Black-Bar Chromis is a great choice for most marine tanks and hobbyists. They are unique among chromis species as they are one of the few Chromis that can be found alone in the wild, this species is perfectly happy to be in an aquarium in a small group of 2-3 fish or even alone, whereas many other chromis species need larger schools, leaving less room in your aquarium for more species variation, and this chromis is not known to be particularly aggressive, making it even more ideal for your marine tank. The Black-Bar Chromis is named after the big black stripe over the end of its body, contrasting with its pale yellow or cream body, but complimenting the darker hues that run down its face. The Black-Bar Chromis is a great contrast with the bright colours of a marine aquarium, making it stand out with it's more subdued colour palette, and it also has a gentle personality, making it perfect for beginners as well as the more experienced hobbyists.
