Schooling Fish

[SaltyDog08]

Alright so I definately like the schooling fish catagory. I have a 75 with two colomns of rock, sort of like two islands, so there is plenty of room in there. I thought about getting 4 green chromis to school in my tank but I know they get like 3 inches and I also heard that they can kill off each other so I dont want that. What are some other schooling fish that I could get for my 75 reef. Here is a link of a picture of my tank if that matters.

I was thinking about getting some bangai cardinals but I wasn't sure if they schooled or not.

they hang out together have a drink or two, sometimes a meal.. LOL

yeah the bangaii don't really school as much as they kind of hang out together. The chromis will do fine if you get an odd number of them, 5 being a good number if you want real schooling behavior. As for the anthias, isn't a 75 kind of small for a school of them? I really like the social behavior of a group of clowns, but they don't exactly school together.

cromies are great... whats this about killing each other... (if you starve them)

6+

alltho i might add that your tank looks a little new.. and i wouldnt go throwing a school of fish in there at once.

I believe there's also a really small cardinal, about the size of the fw cardinal tetras, though not as nice
