    We had reasonable luck with 6 fire fish as they schooled, they were beautiful to watch......then we added a power blue tang, what a bully! So, be careful what you add, it can and will disturb the schooling of others....

    In my experience, firefish are just as cool except they can turn on each other for no reason. They can become very territorial.

    Im not much of a fan of firefish, the purple ones are ok but I generally just dont care for them as much

    The only other examples I can think of now are other damsels. Only issue is they are aggressive.

    Somebody had posted a few months ago about getting a blue something chromis - I think they had purchased a few and said they were really cool but I haven't seen in person yet - they may have posted a pic but not 100% sure. I had a pair of orange striped chromis until a few days ago (were getting too big so needed to get rid of). They were cool when they were very small but as they grew the stripe went away and they turned a gray color. I would have kept them because they schooled with my green ones but like I said too big (were apx. 3"L when I got rid of them)
