I'm baffled my tank is well established and doing great I had one incident with my tang getting ich but it has recovered. I was noticing I lose chromis quite often I had a small school of them like 8 and am down to 4. Guess what I'm asking is why do I lose chromis so easy when the rest of my fish(tangs, clowns, gobys, and shrimp) do fine but yet I lose the supposedly easiest hardiest fish? Anyone have any suggestions

Chromis only school as juveniles. They are related to damsels, and while they aren't quite as aggressive, they are still aggressive toward each other. They pick on each other...and often gang up on the runt of the group. I had two left after a year (started with 6) in my 150g tank, and they continuously fought each other...even with that much room. Just how it is.
