schooling in a 180 ??

[five.five-six]

I am looking for some fish to school in a 180 gallon tank, no freaking chromises, I hate those lil a-holes. I would however rather not break the bank in the prosess

 

[afelder]

get yourself a nice school of anthias 5-7 should do nicely without breaking the bank too much

Anthias, Bartlets are really cool in school run about $25-$40 a piece though. Very colorful

I have several Lyretail Anthias.. Very pretty and colorful.. That would be cool for a 180 gal.. I've got 7 in my 150 gal..

Depends on your tank.

If your tank is an SPS dominated, super high flow tank. I wouldn't get cardinals. They'll just get blowned away and gest stressed. Or Vise Versa if you have a softies/lps tank.

Anthias is the way to go. Just be careful choosing your specimen. Flukes are super common these days. Make sure to quarantine them before introducing into your tank.

Flasher wrasses are awwweeesome!! Dude, u should do that.

I've yet to see it be done, and I might try it if no one buys my 150 gallon tank, but a school of Scopas tangs. Odd, but i've never seen it. Break the mold u know?

well, now that the tank is up and running, i think it needs to be a lot bigger for natural looking schooling, i am thinking 300 gallon, I think I need to pluck my sohal, he is starting to be an ars, perhaps after he is gone I may change my mind and start a school
