Good schooling fish for a reef tank?

[snakeblitz33]

What are some good mid to upper level schooling fish besides Chromis?

 

[gemmy]

Anthias would fit the bill.

Anthias look like freshwater goldfish to me. Never much liked them to be honest. But, that's a good suggestion! Keep them coming!
Cardinals?

I like Gemmy's selection......Cardinals seem kinda boring;bland IMO......

 

[reefr]

i think blue spine cards are cool.

Could get a trio of wrasses or a pair of firefish....Cardinals are boring and twitchy in the tank. They don't do much. I have a Bangaii and PJ and they BORE me.

What do you think of Blue Eyed Cardinalfish (Apogon leptacanthus)? They adapt very well to a captive environment.

Hmm, I think I am going to give cardinals a rest. Maybe black and yellow chromis?

Ah, now I see that it's fairly aggressive.
