Black and Gold Chromis (Neoglyphidodon nigroris)
Overview

The Black and Gold Chromis is a bold and attractive damselfish with a distinctive juvenile colour pattern of bright yellow anterior fading into a jet-black posterior. As they mature, their colours darken, sometimes becoming less vibrant but still striking. Reaching 10–12 cm (4–5 inches), they are larger and more assertive than the common schooling chromis species. They are hardy and active but best suited to larger aquariums due to their territorial nature.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific, including the Philippines, Indonesia, New Guinea, and parts of Micronesia. They are typically found around shallow reef flats and lagoon environments, sheltering in branching corals and rubble zones.

Feeding

The Black and Gold Chromis is an omnivore with a natural diet of plankton, algae, and small invertebrates. In aquariums, they accept a wide variety of foods:

  • Marine flakes and pellets (staple)
  • Frozen mysis, cyclops, and enriched brine shrimp
  • Finely chopped seafood (shrimp, clam, squid)
  • Spirulina and algae-based foods for balance

Feed 2–3 times daily to maintain colour and energy.

Tank Mates

Unlike smaller, peaceful chromis species, the Black and Gold Chromis can be semi-aggressive, especially as it matures. Best tank mates include:

  • Larger clownfish
  • Wrasses (semi-aggressive reef-safe species)
  • Tangs and surgeonfish
  • Dottybacks, hawkfish, and other assertive species

Avoid very peaceful nano fish, as they may be bullied.

Aggression

Semi-aggressive. Juveniles may appear peaceful, but adults can become territorial and may harass weaker fish, especially in smaller tanks. Keeping a single specimen or a large enough group (to spread aggression) in a spacious tank works best.

Experience Level

Beginner to intermediate. Hardy and adaptable, but temperament requires some consideration in community setups.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–28°C (75–82°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.020–1.025 SG
  • Hardness (dKH): 8–12
  • Tank Size: Minimum 55 gallons (210L) for an individual; larger if keeping a group

Plenty of live rock and coral structures help establish territories and reduce aggression.

Reef Compatibility

Reef safe (with caution). Will not harm corals or invertebrates, though their boisterous swimming and territorial behaviour may stress delicate fish or shy reef species.

Sort of good for tough chewers??
Color: Deep Roots Carrot - Small, Size: Small Dog
The actual carrot part (orange part) is tough chewer approved and my dog loves. It’s basically the same shape and size as his kong. However the leaves (green part) is not tough chewer approved. He ripped ALL those leaves off and ate them within 5 minutes of me giving him the toy. However they passed through him fine.

Pretty hard to clean
Color: Cinamutt Roll - Large, Size: Large
We've had this for about a week now. I have 2 dogs, one small one about 55lb. I bought this for my big girl, but lil man is determined to get the best of this toy. Usually they don't both go after the same toys, so this is interesting. The trouble is, neither one of them can get all the treats out if something makes it all the way down into the crevice. It's surprisingly deep. The up side is that they'll try for quite a while before giving up. The down side is even if you put it in the top rack of the dishwasher, something stuck deep in there isn't going anywhere until you dig it out yourself. I tried a plastic knife but it broke the second time I used it in there. I wound up using the metal handle of a reusable straw cleaner. Which then I had to wash that, too. Then it needs to dry overnight before it can be used again. All in all, the dogs like it fine, it's gross to scrape out and wash, takes longer than most toys to dry, and I have the feeling that will eventually cause me to pass it to someone else's dog long before my two have gotten tired of it. At this point I'm pulling out of the toy rotation for a week or two because I'm not ready to clean it a third time.
