Our schools has a 72" 120gal saltwater tank. We have two clowns, a small blue tang and some coral. At some point we want to add more fish. Want to add a foxface and possibly dwarf angels. Are those fish compatible? Any suggestion on schooling fish? I told that green chromis would eventually kill themselves until on two are left and the blue-eyed cardinals and anthias don't really schools.

A foxface and dwarf angels will work, though if you will have corals the angels may nip. I would also suggest adding the angels at the same time, as they can be territorial toward one another.

The green chromis (C. viridis) has been reported as killing one another off one at a time, though the near identical C. altipectoralis is a bit more tolerant of each other.

Blue eyed cardinals do school in tanks, but arent especially active and most other fish that school in the wild disperse in aquaria because of a lack of predators.
