I want to get some fish that will school nicely but I’munsure of what fish will school.. I have a 180 DT with 7 fish.. yellow tang, sailfin tank, Bristletooth Tomini Tang, 6 line wrasse, flame angel, and a pairs setof clowns. I know anthias will schoolbut I don’t know if they are for me.. I like them and want them but I needsomething that I will be able to keep. From what I hear anthias are very pickyand need to eat all the time.. any help would be great. If you tell me anthias please tell give mesome info so I can keep them alive.. are they really that hard to keep?

thank you

I added some(brackish water) mono sebae, five, to my tank, and they look really cool schooling together. they are really easy to acclimate to salt water and are actually suppose to do better in salt water.
 
I'm getting some red spot dwarf cardinals for the same reason :) I got my lfs to order me five to put in my 46 bowfront. Quality marine has them available if your lfs orders from them. If you want something that doesn't look like a tetra, take a look at mini dart fish.
 
i Feed my tank once or twice every other day would these anthias be able to servive.. i also make my own foods so would they eat frozen foods.

Anthias should be fed sparingly twice a day to keep aggression down. frozen food is prefered, but good if theyre eatting some pellets to round out the diet and for ease.
