Bangaii cardinal? They do school as well and are actually a really cool fish even though not very active! They are ridiculously cute as babies too, easy to get captive bred ones!!

For a start I'd recommend something a little hardy, a pair of clowns would be a great start. I know many people who actually use them to cycle tanks. Anthias I'd add a few months down the road because of there poor survival rates. If you want a schooling fish (TRUE schooling fish) try Longspine Cardinals - Apogon leptacanthus. I have a half dozen of these with a half dozen Dispar anthias and the amount of life and activity in the tank is a lot more noticeable, guess the rock hiders aren't so afraid with free swimmers roaming!!

I like the Azure Damselfish. Hardy, very pretty, and peaceful (unlike other damsels). Just be careful not to get the yellow belly or yellow tail one. Those are not Azures. I notice that J&L has the wrong pic for their Azure.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
