Cardinals are great. Or schooling heniochus. They are bigger.

I think for schooling fish we are pretty limited in saltwater. Anthias and cardinals are all that come to mind. Now, I have five pajama cardinals and they hang out together, but I wouldn't call it schooling. Anthias make beautiful schools. I like the Maldives lyretail personally. A school of a half dozen should give you a good slice of the reef, in a tank that size! One will become male and turn red.

Yea even if they don't school I want a busy tank like different chromis and cardinals and like a tang and 1 angel

I believe Shoaling is what you mean - when they hang out together. Schooling is when they group & move together for a common purpose which doesn't happen in aquaria.

PJ Cardinals stick together pretty tight in my experience.

Bartletts anthias look good in schools

 

[Robbiesamp]

Yea your right I want fish that just hang out

I have anthias and chromis schooling together.

I wish I had a big enough tank for a school of anthias. Gorgeous fish. I forgot about chromis mostly because every time I've tried them, they die very quickly. Some reading I've done suggests that they are more fragile than commonly believed.
