They should be kept in odd numbers, and I wouldn't do both the blue and the green. You'll have enough trouble with just one color of them, as the more dominant one usually picks off the rest.

I have had 3 in a 55gal for over 2 yrs. They do not school, they are competitive in small groups. My 3 have settled in with each other and the most aggressive one gets the middle part of the tank, the other two the ends.
They have done well and are all very active.

I have a mixed group of five in my 150 for 7 months and so far so good. FWIW, my mix is of regular blue-green and black axil chromis. One of the BAs s definitely the most aggressive, but the other 4 and still sometimes the fifth do school during light periods.

My tank is 75gl and I have rocks in there. The only reason I choose to combine them because, on live aquaria, they say that Chromis encourage the other shy fish to swim around, these two are peaceful and compatible with each other.
I also have a blue Tang, and after we moved she has become very shy and stay hidden. One of the member above suggested that Chromis will school if they sense a threat. So the blue tang can be a threat to them.
Any suggestions for any other peaceful fish which schools better, but not the Cardinals, they are very slow and the Tang will finish all the food before they can get to it.

Thanks but they are very slow and I don't think it can keep up with Tang.
Any other suggestions?

Sk8er is right. You're not going to find what you are looking for in a 75 gallon. Clowns pair up. Possible a male and two female anthias for a harem, but they will mill about and I'm not sure your tank is big enough. You would also need an oversize skimmer because they need to eat multiple times a day. Even in the ocean an area the size of your tank would be an acceptable size for fish to mingle about.
