Hey guys, I would like to get a lot of fish of one particular species, that have a dramatic effect when they school. The aquarium is 75 gallons. What fishes should I get?

Green Chromis? Or, maybe some Anthias? Of course, a school of Green Chromis will be much cheaper.

get large school of green chromis they have awesome color and when they school it truly adds a dramatic affect and they dont add a huge bio-load!

Well, my biggest concern is the size of my aquarium. How many cardinals should I get if my aquarium is 75 gallons? What about chromis? Theywill be the only fish in the aquarium, as I have none.

depends on what kind of cardinals i personally like pajama cardinals they also school well, as for green chromis since they would be the only fish in their you could do a large school i would think.

I had 6 green chromis. They were all added at the same time. Slowly they picked on each other until only 2 are left. These two seem to get along great.

I have heard that longspine cardinals school well (but don't quote me on this)
