Depending on your tank size you can look into getting a trio of heniochus butterflies

Anthias are a good schooling fish if the tank is large enough. What size is the tank?

Firefish are also a good schooling fish for 50 gallon tanks

Hi what you mean as looked on liveaquaria and didn't see in side bar

 

[Jolee0722]

They are called dartfish. Sorry, I was talking about a specific species that is pretty popular. There should be a category called dartfish in liveaquaria and they will be in there.

Cheers no what they are now, there jumpers so might have to wait as my tank got ledge around the top under the lid for clear lid when use led itstead of t5 bulbs

 

[Jolee0722]

They are very hardy fish and are not very shy, but you should only keep a pair or get 5 or more of them as a school, which is what you want, correct?

 

[Bray84]

Yeah like get school, how come its a pair or 5 together

 

[Jolee0722]

Because in a group of three, one will die and the others will pair up. You could also go with 4.

 

[Bray84]

Thanks will have look next time in lfs

Firefish are very active fish.
