Best Schooling Fish??

[emissary43]

A foot long fish in a 220 is pretty tight, there is a guy in Monterey with a 10,000gal with a massive school of lookdowns. Bannerfish are not coral safe enough for this 750. But I am thinking it is large enough for a school of anthias, chromis, and glass cardinals. I am going to be placing at least two LTAs with clowns but I might attempt 3. WHen I make a build thread I will add a link to this post.

Anyone know if it is ok to post a build thread on RC for a tank that is being built by a reef tank design company for a persons house? I will not give the company's name in the post. I don't see a reason why not but I don't want to get chewed out

Anyone ever kept Parapriacanthus guentheri?

I've tried very hard to find parapriacanthus rannsoneti (pygmy/golden sweeper). I can't get them. They are just one of those fish which seems to be not collected.

Here's a school of them in the Georgia Aquarium....Now THIS, is a school. Couldn't they spare me a dozen or so?

those sweepers look awesome! I really like large numbers of smaller fish in a large tank!
I have looked for them as well and never found any.
The shoals of anthias, chromis and glass cardinals will look very nice, especially if you get a decent amount of them (50+ for the chromis and cardinals)
For the anthias make sure the male to female ratio is kept or to get all females at the beginning and let some turn to males. If the ratio is off it can be an issue, although in a 750 less of an issue for sure!
I can not imagine RC would mind you putting the tank build up.
