Do all chromis school in most tanks?

I was just wondering if all of the chromis school? Is there any that school better than others? I was thinking about putting 3-5 chromis in my tank to go with my 2 clowns, koran angel and bi-color blennie. Are these fish fun to watch school and do they ussually stay together?

I had 5 green chromis in a 150 with quite a bit of LR and hiding spots, but after 9 months, only one remained. That chromis killed off the other 4, and now lives happily with a pair of clowns, a blenny, and a goby in my 65.
This is just my experience, as I've read many other successful stories of reefers keeping groups of chromis in their tanks.

I have 5 in my 75g. They're very small (2"). They school constantly, and I'm very pleased with them. It's fun to watch them patrol the front of the tank, fighting the mighty current of the power heads.

I have three 3" chromis who are unsepartable. Great fish, fun to watch and people seem to love their color. I get tons of compliments on them.
Just posted this picture but will again to give an idea of the schooling.

The most I have had is 3 and they had always schooled together. I am down to 2 now.
