Peppermint angel bro.

Anthias would be safe, as long as u got 1 of them pellet trained first. Others in school not nice leh, n nice one eat n poo like mad...

my 3 dispar anthias is sticking very closely among themselves, i believe they will school if i get more.

Blue/Green chromis n anthias school together. Have to feed regularly to keep them healthy though

Anthias : dispar, bartlett and blue eyes my 3 favorite used to have 4/5 blue eyes did well for few month then go for holidays come back all die ( even with auto feeders 3 times a day ) maybe no luck..

Anyone has experience with the smaller cardinals? Liveaquaria says they school too.

Cardinals will stop schooling once they reach to around 50cent coin size. If you want schooling, get around 8+ yellow tangs, or 5-6+ chromis, or anthias(I havent tried before), or 2+ firefish, and a few other fish. Most fishes will school if you add large enough populations unless theyre teretorial. Hope this helps

Fusilier is a good choice of schooling fish

I have read a lot of anecdotal reports about chromis killing each other. That's why I have stayed off them. Hmm maybe a group of fire fish will be cute.

Yup fusilier is good schooling fishes too. I have 3 and they mixed well with my 12 other chromis. And fusilier grew very fast. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I don't want chromis as they below to more aggressive group. Maybe I will get anthias.

Get molly. .. they school and eat algea

[Quas111]

Ime chromis will eat each other when their population gets too small. Only 2 will remain eventually. For me the magic number has been 5 until they started chewing each others faces off

Anthias!!!!

Yes but you can convert it to saltwater..just that need some time to do it .

[Quas111]

You can acclimate a molly to saltwater but i dont see why you want to do that. There are so many nicer alternatives

[Bulldozer]

I agreed!

There should be much easier & better choice over the Molly.

I have also tried Chromis but it ended up with only 1 piece in the end .... Wonder why.

Fire Fish sounds good but what is a good number to form a School ?

Their availability is every now & then BUT who knows which LFS is able to supply a good number at one shot ?

i got 10 pcs of firefish. Usually they will hide and come out only during afternoon n hide again. But when they are out hanging in a group its very nice. I don't know if it is normal. I got them from aquarist chamber. They told me they have a large supply of them. U can check it out

Yes Sir ... Noted with Thanks ...

[Kakani]

Fire fish look good too. I prefer the purple body one. Think between fire fish or anthias. Maybe get 10 - 15

Imagine a school of yellow or red sailfin molly swimming in your 4 ft tank... cheaper then most fishes and they feed on algae..
