![]() 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?

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |

![]() I thought green chromis but I heard they start killing each other after a while. Anyone had purple chromis? I require reef safe fish only.

![]() 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!

![]() 52 Gallons I have only had them for a few months now. When I had 2 they hid most of the time when I added 4 more they swim in the open all day long. Can't say anything about habits as they get older.
