Default great schooling fish

I want a very bright (red, orange, pink) smaller schooling fish for my 210 gallon. I'd like to buy 5 to 9 of the fish to make a really dynamic splash of colour in the tank. Anyone have any suggestions. I'm really after a fish that swims in unison and doesn't like to break rank.

Full grown at about 3 inches or so, if possible.

Bartlett's Anthias would be a perfect choice.

Default Anthias

Then I guess it'll be Anthias for me. I now have to find a place that I can pick up 7 to 9 at a reasonable enough price that I don't break my bank account!

Affordable..oh...that's a completely different question!

If you get the anthias, word on them is that they require multiple feedings per day...
