    They do best in schools of at least 5-6. I have 5 in my 65G, but your is much bigger. lol

    Since it's done cycling, Id put in at least 6.

    what fish do YOU want? lol
    THAT, is the question.
    Peaceful and shy fish first, then more dominant fish can be added like clowns.

    Well I want to add tangs. An agel fish. Maybe a goby. The chromis idea sounds good. A foxface and a butterfly. ( is that to much?) it's within those. But there might be somekind of fish that might look cooler that idk about.
    Just kinda need to know what to add first and if they will live nicely toguether.

    I second the school of chromis. I've heard they are really fun to watch because they school all over the tank. Plus they are very hardy. I've read that people who have big tanks love to get big schools of them. That would be so pretty!!

    Also, this isn't very helpful because I had noooo idea what they are called....but the other day at my LFS they had the prettiest schooling fish. They were fairly small, and a very dark blue, almost purple, with like neon sky blue and (I think) yellow markings. Maybe someone knows what they are?

    They were gorgeous and would look so cool in a big school!!
