Description
The Doublebar Chromis is a striking marine fish characterized by its dark body and two distinct vertical bars on its gill cover. This planktivorous species thrives in established reef aquariums, where it can often be seen schooling. It adds activity and visual interest to a saltwater tank, especially when kept in a small group.
