    If they stop schooling ,just put your net in there and try to catch them for a min. I'm sure the'll think thats a preditor and start to school again.

    When I say mine "school" I don't mean they always swim together.
    When first introduced they swim together more. After they get comfy they do their own thing more. If they get spooked or something they swim together.

    I have a group of 4 chromis together in my 40, they killed off the 5th one for some reason. They do fight occasionally, but its nothing serious, just for food or to get the smaller one to stop following the larger one.
    I like the idea of a group of school bangaii cardinals, but I have never had success with just one of these first and the LFS around here sell them for $15.
    I'm unsure about the tank requirements, but what about a school of some kind of anthias? I only know that they love to swim and require feeding a few times throughout the day.

    Bangai Cardinals will school when very small but once they pair off they will become very territorial and will not get along - cool fish though
