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.

Initially defective poor quality
This item was initially defective and I needed one so I ordered another thinking it was a fluke. Both devices would not turn on. The second one briefly turned on for about 30 seconds and died. The major inconveniences that I can't return it in the normal way. I have to bring it to UPS and there isn't one near my house. I am very disappointed with this item and also with the return policy

Came in skeptical, but it's GREAT!
I read all the bad reviews I could on this thing and considered it an acceptable risk considering the price. Assembly was easy and the instructions were fair. Not amazing, but once you handle the edger, the gist is clear. I was skeptical overall that the horsepower and plastic guard weren't going to be enough. I ran it for nearly 45min stopping every 5 or so to check the blade and guard. It stayed tight and I was able to manually turn the blade to make sure it was working right. My front yard and sidewalk have been neglected for a few years. I would sometimes edge it out with the weed Wacker, but couldn't get it as clean as I wanted without breaking a LOT of line. When I was done, I noticed the guard had a lot of soil and grass buildup that I was able to take out easily with my fingers. There were a few times I scraped the sidewalk edge, but the blade is still solid and ready for more! I was surprised at the quality and as you're going over an area, it feels solid and not squirly or out of control. My uses are going to be mostly suburban maintenance on my own yard. If I had more land or something bigger, I would consider something larger. For my yard and purposes, this edger is going to work just fine! Did not notice any issues with the blade getting loose, but stayed aware of it. There is a lock nut that keeps it in place. I imagine over time and switching blades, this is going to lose its locking function, but I already see amazon has replacement blades that come with new lock nuts!

Works great, easy assembly and no issues!
Using the weedeater for edging was too hard, so I purchased this. It works great! It was easy to assemble and easy to use. My lines are perfect, but the size, durability, and power of this gem get the job done, and it's lightweight enough that I can easily maneuver it around the yard. I chose a corded one so I don't have to deal with battery life or charging.

Excellent Kindle for reading every day
I’m very happy with this Kindle Paperwhite. The screen is easy on the eyes, even for long reading sessions, and the front light makes it comfortable to read day or night. It’s lightweight, the battery lasts a long time, and it’s super convenient to carry around with a whole library. Great purchase overall.
