Description
The Yellowfin Chromis is a hardy and peaceful schooling fish, recognized by its light body and distinct yellow fins. Native to the Indo-Pacific, it thrives in a well-established reef aquarium with plenty of swimming space and rockwork for shelter. They are primarily zooplankton feeders but will readily accept a variety of prepared foods.
