Schooling fish?
I have a 70 gallon aquarium and was interested in adding 3 or 4 small fish that would school together.
I have heard that in "smaller" tanks they usually will for a while but then they stop if there is no predator present. Anyone have any ideas what would be a good choice for this... if it is worth it? |
Green Chromis are nice schoolers. Pretty inexpensive too!

Banner fish also like to school alot bigger then chomis tho.
like the size of your hand. http://thundafunda.com/33/underwater...r%20photos.jpg But should be noted they are not reefsafe. |

I thought green chromis but I heard they start killing each other after a while. Anyone had purple chromis? Quote:

What size tank... and how long have you had them? Do they school for you? |
I've always used blue/green chromis to school and draw out the more shy fish...they're an excellent dither fish (similar to rainbows in freshwater) never had any problems with them. There'll be a school of 6 in our 75 at the shop

Green chromis are awesome, i had 5 in my 90 one disappeared but I have had 4 for a good 4 months, and they are awesome they are normally all in a group, especially if they see people outside of the tank they will all group up. Also they always stay at the front of the tank where everyone can see them!

+1 on the Chromis, excellent, I have had 4 in my tank for the past 5 yrs..still swimming together.
