Need ID

[AlienAnchovies]

picked 4 of these bad boys up yesterday at aquatic warehouse but cant for the life of me remember what theyre called
A. something or other, they tend to randomly get this awsome metalic streak just above their lateral line

They are a species of chromis - I've seen them before - if you can wait till I get home I can probably get a scientific name for them or at least a genus.

Aquatek had a few in last month.

From Scott Michael who writes....


Allen's Damselfish (Pomacentrus alleni)

Max length: 2.4"
Feed: meaty items (other fish?) mysid shrimp & brine, and fish flakes 3x day
Reef compatibility: excellent

Regarded by some (like AlienAnchovies) as the most beuatiful of the damselfishes, this species is named in honor of Dr. Gerald R. Allen, the ichthyologist recongized as one of the world authority on Family Pomacentridae :skeezy: It is one also one of the more peaceful species and wonderful aquarium fish. Can be kept in groups and housed with relatively docile tankmates. In fact, it woll often perish in a tank with more aggressive fishes. Provide with plent of shelter sites. Ideal for the reef aquarium, being harmless to interebrate tankmates and nibbling on filamentous algea if it appears.

Looks like you got the best ones, AA!

when i went the other day i looked through all their finned critters and these bad boys just stood out, hence i bought them. awsome fish too forever darting around adding movement.
