Show me your schools, haraams & shoals!!!!

[Bernie21]

Hey everyone,

I have always wanted to to have schooling fish, or haraams or shoaling fish. I fortunately & unfortunately only have a 92 gallon tank, so it is not possible for me to do or enjoy. I recently bought a Red Male Lyretail anthia & bought 2 small females for him. This really isnt to see paired fish like Firefish or clowns or even my 3 little anthias, but to the effect of several of one species of fish congregating in one tank. Like a haraam of Angels or wrasses or a school of tangs or butterflies, or a large shoal of anthias, etc., etc.

W that said, Let the show begin.

Unfortunately, most home aquaria are nowhere near large enough for fish to display shoaling behavior. Besides, most of us intentionally keep predators out.

But I have 25 anthias,17 cardinals,35 wrasses, 6 clownfish, few gobies
And 3 large tang on the main tank

Not mine... but here is a (cruddy) phone pic of a shoal of bangaiis in a frag tank in the SF Bay area.

Here's a picture of my Anthias Shoaling a year ago, changing up the lineup this year.
My Male Lyretail, Bartlett's and Sunburst didn't feel like joining them when I took these pictures.

Oh my that must be a huge tank, coupled with a very VERY large skimmer to maintain. Quite a spectacle, I can only imagine how it would look like when they're feeding.
