Also how could you know how someone may or may not want their fish to school?....lol what are the different types of schooling? Everyone here just wants to help out and it's important for people to experiment a little, have some fun with the hobby and see what works for you Last edited by Whatigot; 11-26-2008 at 06:42 PM. |

![]() for the record, I believe schooling actually refers to an aggregate of fish that swim in a polarized manner... that is they all face the same way and are synchronized. So technically we would never see real schooling in a tank. Shoaling is what we are really referring to: an aggregate of fish that are loosely associated with each other.
Ive already mentioned what I think of damsels and chromis schooling. Matt, no matter how big or small the school of chromis, you almost invariably end up with one or none over time. This has been well documented. Like I said, chalk basslets, almost any group of cardinals would work. And yes, scissortail gobies (which are actually a dartfish) would work as well; note that firefish will likely kill each other. |

shoaling is definitely what my chalks do with some moderate schooling but only for like a tight corner and then it's back to shoaling... Good point on the difference between these 2 behaviors. |

![]() I would just like to share my exp as in the past had a few blue chromis like 5 and soon it was one kept finding them in da overflow dang buggers, I wanted some cool fish that swam in a group so I got 7 blue eyed cardinal fish and they're always out together or in the rock work... I tried chalk bass but it got expensive with just 3 and for some reason the 2 that are still living fight.
Blue eyed cardinals ftw!! I want to add 10-15 more just love the colours when they are fed well nice electric blue with orange stripes very peacefull fish aswell.
