Having a school
Hi everyone....
I would like a school of fish in my 220 reef. Does anyone have a school in their tank or know somebody with some schooling fish? I am looking for a type of fish and how many I would need. I have heard conflicting comments about chromis (some people are saying that you need 11/12 for them to actually school). If anyone has any ideas I would be greatful. Thanks.

I think one of the reasons fish "school" is for protection. Unless you have some predators in there you might find that they all just do their own thing irregardless of how many you have.

Chromis are cool. I have tried to keep my count up to 9, but keep getting down to 6. Contrary to what I've read, 6 seems to be a magic # for me...

Thanks. I'll add some chromis and see what they do. If they don't school I'll add something really mean to make them school! Ok, maybe not.
