So I went to a local fish store and let me start by saying that this store is decent for fish. I like the store quite a bit. But it's employees just aren't that great. I'm lOoking at green chromis and I ask how much and he says 14.99 and I said for a chromis!!? "well they're blue/green chromis" I was like no way that's a green chromis no way 14.99!!!


I'm just venting cause I would have gotten a few but he just came off as a total jerk.
And also NO WAY SHOULD ANYONE PAY14.99 FOR A GREEN CHROMIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on the size. The XL blue green chromis can go up to $25 but I bought mine for around $12.

I think I paid $3-$4 each for the 7 blue green chromis.

Small or large? Most stores sell the small for $3-5.

I paid $3.99 per at a lfs, but I do believe they were $12-$14 for the larger fish. You can go to other places in the area and pay much less, but you will get what you pay for too.

From what I understand, this is a very popular fish right now, which is why the cost is what it is.

You can also order them on-line if you want but even Live Aquaria sells them for 6.99 for 1"-2" fish.

Did you buy them?

$3.99 for the large?

3.99 for the small, but some were medium size for that price too.

Ya the 3.99 ones are tiny dime and nickel size. When I ran a store a chromis is a chromis 3.99 each you pick size lol

I like to have the small chromis so they can school but they keep getting sucked into my overflow.

I have read they dont like a lot of flow so the get tired and eventually just give up

Yeah the largeer chromis last longer in my tank.

If you are looking for chromis in about 6 months I will be getting rid of my large sized ones. 3.99 each

Haha I'm surprised this thread got a lot of hits lol but ya I may want a few. I lost my yellow eyed kole tang and my coral beauty in my move. So ya I may want a few more swimmers since I only have 2 that actually get around.

So the question is which size chromis were they selling for 14.99?

what size tank do you have? Not trying to turn this into a FS thread, but I am going to be selling a my fish in 6 months.

I had mine taking rides to the sump daily for te first week, but it seems they have learned their lesson.

I have a 90 set up right now, and they were 2" chromis nothing special.
