Im looking to set up another tank but wanted to do small schooling fish only like blue green chromis anyone have any ideas stock wise for me
 
i just upgraded to a 75 yes what is shoaling? I have 4 blue green chromis now and there always swimming around together. I was wondering if there were other species that would do the same?
 
School of fish is a group of fish that swim in a synchronised manner, i.e. with similar speeds and direction. They also display a consistent distance with adjacent fish.

Shoal of fish are randomly orientated fish within a group and exhibit a variable distance to adjacent fish.
 
blue streak cardinal will shoal nicely , I am getting a bunch for my tank its gonna look great. They really shoal not just hang together like blue green chromis do, they all move in the same pattern like a wave not just hover around next to each other.
 
Yes, I would agree about blue green chromis, they really do just hang together only about 50% of the time. at least mine do (I have 12 in a 300gal)
