Which schooling fish?

[TRUKINGNY]

Hey everyone I wanna add a nice addition to my tank and what better then a species that will school together I was thinking of at least 3 but if really pretty I'll settle for 2(i know not really schooling with just 2)My first choice was a pair of helfrichi firefish but wanted to hear what everyone else had to say... And if you need to know I have a 120 gal tank

royal gramma, anthias, flasher wrasse's do you have a cover on the tank ?

Green Chromis. They really add shine to a tank and they look good schooling if you have a large enough tank. Not to mention they are inexpensive.

Yes I have screens on my tank so there is no way they are jumping out

I have a trio of lyretail anthis, They don't actually school up together but they are very nice looking fish and the male is red with gold, while the females are a bright orange.

I got those cardinals. They're really great schoolers! Looks even more amazing with 10 of them or more. They might eat 1 or 2 mysis each a day, so they're fairly low bioload.
