chromis schooling in 220

[civickid]

I was thinking about schooling them in a 220 and they would be my main attraction in the tank. Do you think 20 of them would be too many or should i get more.

I really like them. I would say 10 should be good. You don't want to overshadow the rest of your tank.

What else is currently in the tank?

sounds cool, but why make that the center of your huge tank a school of 5$ fish? if i were you i would pick something that schools but is a little more... you know...flashy or something. but if you like the chromis, i would say go ahead. but if your looing for schooling fish and not particularly the chromis, try to find other fish that school in the home aquarium

Some of the flasher wrasses school and are very pretty

Anthias would be beautiful -- and they do best in schools. If you have your heart set on chromis, I'd agree with mixtimp.
