Schooling fish

[Rongway]

I am looking for Opinions on what would be a good choice for schooling fish that will be going into a Bowfront 540 display, roughly 96x(30)42x36....

Good lord you can have multiple school...
Chromis are a good option, and not to expensive.

Lookdowns!

 

[Rongway]

Aren't Chromis bad about killing each other?

It doesn't matter how many chromis I add....it always ends up at 3 or 4. BUT...they are not expensive and do school beautifully!

Chromis is a good choice. I put 10 chromis in my tank about 6 months ago, now I have 7.

Started with 10 now have 2, thats 1 years time

IMO, Chromis is a BAD choice. They will kill each other off, or drive outsiders away, which defeats your purpose of grouping fish.

I would suggest the afore mentioned cardinals for good group behavior, or anthias for good color and interaction.

Could multiples of each be kept, Cardinals and Anthias?

Have 10 chromis no problem have had them 6 months, you might consider red stiped cardinals their nice and bluezoo has them for 10 bucks
