what fish should i get

[Montaquelaveist]

Okay guys here we go starting to re-populate my 220 after the wipeout right now as far as fish go i have
2- bangai cardinals
1- tiger gobby
5- blue/green chromes
2- picasso clowns

so what I'm looking to do this time around aside from your normal tangs and such i want real reef fish you know the ones like you see on TV lmao lmao okay so what i wanna do is find some fish that will shoal around the rocks swimming in and out but something with color but small and schooling so what do you guys suggest or if you guys have had some nice schooling fish with color that swim close to the rocks let me know thanks

Live Aquaria had Australian strypes (spelling) last time I checked the site out. I don't recall ever seeing them in a lfs but they look cool and can have a few your tank. I would avoid the chromis, most comments suggest you'll end up with one that survives from the group. A few anthias would be nice as well

I've had good luck with the chromis before i had the same 5 for almost 4 years

I literally have all the same fish in my new-ish 200 gallon. I also just got a male/female pair of carpenter flasher wrasse, I have a flame angel, a diamond goby and a bunch of cleaning critters and scavengers. I am trying to add things slowly, but I think I'm going to look into some tangs next or maybe a basslet.

As mentioned Liveaquaria.com has a ton of fish and inso about each fish, also I like vivid aquariums in cali, great website.

Don't know much about schooling fish but whenever I upgrade to a tank that size the first fish I get will be a clown trigger, love that fish.

then i guess you won't be doing a reef or community tank as those fish are saltwater piranha lol
