anthias

Do anthias school? I know chromis and maybe some cardinals do. Anyone have experience with fish other than chromis in a school?
Thanks

I think firefish go in schools, not sure about anthias though.

firfish do, but i would get several and all at once, as wella s cardinals, and
anthias do, but need a large tank, as well some wrasses do, but they should be more a of a harem(one male only)
tangs are another, but they should all be added at once and be in a VERY large tank

Yes anthias do school but are very fragile fish. They mainly feed on plankton, but can be trained to feed on flake. I have a school of 9 in my 135, and they will only eat flake food. When i feed mysis they turn their noses at it. As for other schooling fish, the majority need very large (public aquarium size) tanks to hold them.
good luck

Anthias also thrive best in deepwater tanks, too much light can stress them out. Bo

firefish do not school, i repeat, do not school...they are like banggia cardinals, when they are young they school

Thanks,
I am getting a 105, so it's not really a lot of space for more than 4 anthias. Maybe I can get some small cardinals. Any other suggestions other than chromis?
