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.

5 Stars!
Format: Hardcover
Mario asks his mother, “Why do we cry?” and she goes on to tell him all the different reasons that we do cry. Some of the reasons are a bit metaphorical, and might be harder for younger children to understand, but the illustrations help in those cases. (The book is aimed for 3-7 year olds, but I think the story is more fitting for ages 5 and up). The illustrations correspond well with the words on the page. The story lets children know that it is ultimately ok to cry. I feel that the book showcasing a boy asking about crying is wonderful as some boys are told NOT to cry. A few added pluses: There is also a lesson that scientifically explains about tears so children can understand some of the varying reasons that tears exist. There is also a small interactive section with activities dealing with tears that will help children express their imagination. Many thanks to Kids Can Press for granting me an e-arc to read that I chose to review. A+ on this children’s picture book!

Learn why we cry in this great kids book!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own. "Some days we cry because we call out for a hug but all we get back is an echo." Why Do We Cry? begins with a boy asking his mother why we cry. There are many answers to such a question and the mother helps the boy explore the many reasons why we may shed tears. As the mother explains the reasons why we cry, the illustrations become a bit surreal, to show the emotions and feelings associated with crying, from sadness to anger to grief. The mother compares and contrasts, all the while weaving a poetic story about her own life or memories and emotions. This book reminds us that it is okay to cry, that crying can be a release, a way to heal, or let go. It helps us understand the difference between emotions and how they affect us. There's an educational spread at the end of the book that teaches us the different types of tears, one of which--emotional tears-- is featured in this book, what they are made of, and even how much they weigh!

It's okay to cry
Format: Kindle
This picture book beautifully normalizes the reasons why children (and adults) may cry. It passes no judgment and does not belittle. Rather, some of the many reasons for tears are described; these include anger, sadness and happiness among others. Crying is seen as a normal response to being human. At the end of the book, there is additional information, some of it scientific, about tears. The book is sensitively illustrated with gorgeous pictures that enhance the text. This would be a great title to share with a child you know. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this read in exchange for an honest review.

Great product
Style: Sustainable - Stretch Cloth, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I like the material, it seems to hold up that I haven’t had it very long. It dries completely between showers. It’s not over exfoliating.
