Schooling Fish
What are some cool looking schooling fish that aren't aggressive? I've been wanting to get a few damsels, preferrably green chromis, but I'm curious as to whether they would school?

Re: Schooling Fish
Chromis do school, and are not really aggresive. I think that would be your best bet for a schooling fish.

Re: Schooling Fish
Chromis' I have five of them they do school, They arent aggessive they require a min of 30 galls which you have and do better if there are 3+ there cheap and pretty change from a blue to green. Readily eat flake and frozen so what ever your feeding your other fish they will eat hope this helps.

Re: Schooling Fish
Just for future referece, will they be ok with clowns, seeing as theyre both damsels? I want to try keeping a maroon in the near future.

Re: Schooling Fish
Chromis and clowns should get along fine.
