So I recently just added 3 PJ Cardinals and 3 green chromises. I was originally going to add 3 more of each but I was wondering something. Instead of doing the same kind can I add 3 Banggai Cardinals and 3 blue chromises and have them get along with the others? I know some fish don't get along with other colors of the same species. Also will the school together or just be different schools of 3.

Thanks for the help.
 
As long as your tank is big enough for them they should leave each other alone. In my experience fish get aggressive at night.

Pj cardinals do their own thing.

Blue reef chromis are pretty delicate, so you may not end up with three.

If you get 3 bangaii cardinals 2 will pr up and kill the 3rd.
 
PJ's do well in a group but bangai normally just a pair
