Hatte immer fünf dieser Chromis zunächst in einem 270er und dann in einem 430er Becken.
Sind wegen ihrer Farbe toll anzusehen.
Man sollte mindestens vier dieser Tiere halten.
In der ersten Woche sind sie recht krankheitsanfällig. Daher vor dem Einsetzen immer eine UV-Anlage vorher in Betrieb nehmen.
Einmal eingewöhnt gibt es zwar manchmal kleinere Raufereien untereinander, aber immer ohne irgendwelche Verluste. Zum Teil kristallisieren sich nach einer Zeit so etwas ähnliches wie Paare heraus.
Manche schwimmen den ganzen Tag im Freiwasser, andere leben etwas versteckt im Riff.
