Actually, the green chromis are not that hardy. They are in the same family of damsels, but more delicate. People love to buy them(including me) for their schooling, but they tend to dissapear. Also in larger tanks and smaller groups they tend to swimm on their own.

How about pseudanthias squamipinis? (Not positive about the spelling) You could get one male and two or three females. They are such beautiul fish.

anthias are very good schooling fish. The ones on this site would be a good addition.
On problem I did have was with them disappearing though. I had 4 disappear in a weeks time, never to be seen again. My water parameters were perfect so I dont know if they got eaten or jumped out or what, but i never saw them again ?!?!?!?

Well if you like them they school very well they NEVER left one anothers side. However they do like to burrow in the sand a bit.

Actually, the coral cats get very LARGE. They do form a tight knit school, but once they are large enough, they split up.
