Orange Chromide

Facts and Information

orange chromide

Often found in the tidal streams and marsh lagoons of India and Sri Lanka, the Orange Chromide often migrates to estuaries. The waters of its natural habitat are often of moderate hardness with an alkaline pH often between 8 and 9. The addition of synthetic sea salt will raise the pH and hardness to appropriate levels for the Orange Chromide, although it is best to do so before you acquire the fish.
