suggest some schooling fish for my 420

[jlinzmaier]

I'm building a large fish tank (420 gal DT) so that I can keep a large variety of corals, but also so that I can keep small schools of fish. I'd love to replicate the dramatic effect of schooling activity like seen in the ocean.

Can someone provide me with some recommedations for types of fish that are known to exhibit schooling acitivity in aquariums??

My best guess would be some species of anthias (not sure what species though) or chromis. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Jeremy

jlinzmaier,

Thank you for your post. You may want to add a school of Anthias, Chromis, or Cardinalfish to your aquarium. The species will be dependant on what you would like to see in your tank, though any of these fish will add color and movement to your aquarium.

Please contact us if you have further questions or concerns.
