Schooling Fish

[Nedim]

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?

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

 

[Bifferwine]

Firefish will school also.

Firefish will school also.

Shool where?......in a rock?

Chromis is good
Anthais do also but probably grow to big for your tank unless you keep only one.

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.

 

[Nedim]

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.

 

[Bifferwine]

Chromis and clowns should get along fine.

 

[Nedim]

So I can toss in a pair of these guys with about 5 blue reef chromis?


Clownfish, Anemonefishes (Clownfish), Family: Pomacentridae


Ive never heard of black percs before, these are really cool looking.

 

[reeffreak]

You should be fine.

I never of heard of Black Percs til recently either
I think I might get a pair
Thanks.Nedim

I'm not sure if anyone but ORA breeds black ocellaris clowns but FWIW i have a couple of these guys and they have tons of personality.

 

[AndyB4784]

also i thought i'd add that maroon clowns get pretty big and in a 46g they would probably become very aggressive towards other tank mates.

I would opt for the green chromis over the blue. disposition is better than the blue, although the blue are ok also.
