Schooling

Read the posts!! I don't see what is so hard to understand here. Your chromis aren't going to school and neither are those tangs. It looks like there is a lot of rock in that tank which might make them pace the front like they are but its not even your tank so how can you make such a blanket statement that they are always swimming the same direction! Even after a great picture demonstration of schooling fish people still don't get it. Read the posts!

Now back to the topic....
I have seen sweepers on this list, but have no experience ordering from them.

carribean fish only

I also think that a large group of threadfin cardinals would be very impressive. They probably won't be as tight as those sweepers shown, but would stay closer than say chromis and would be more peaceful.

Good luck maybe you could find some other neat fish.
 
Gee, tcmfish, you certainly said it better than I could have. There was an article about a guy in england that had glassy sweepers but I am not sure we are able to get them here in the USA. There are some nice cardinalfish that will aggregate (shoal) that I have seen various places including Dr. F & S. They work well for me once established.
 
lookdowns they normally stay in a very tight school. they get rather large, but you said you have a 400. would probably look awesome i there maybe 5 or 6. predatory fish but keep with damsels and other smaller fish without any problems, check it out.<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5l354fhLZSc&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>******* src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5l354fhLZSc&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
