peaceful, pretty, schooling fish ideas?

i'll look into some cardinals, thanks!

i was planning on the foxface being the last fish added anyway, maybe by then i'll have changed my mind

 

Have fun catching a 6 inch foxface in a 12 inch wide tank LOL! Trust me, don't do that, plus you'll probably become attached to the fish. Or do it and upgrade
Blue streak cardinalfish (Bred by ORA too) are probably the best grouping cardinalfish.

 

Here is some general advice for you, don't ever buy a fish that will outgrow your current tank. All too often the fish are bought nice and small, put into a small tank with the intentions of upgrading, but then life gets in the way and the upgrade doesn't happen. Now you have a fish too large for your tank that you are attached to and don't want to re-home.

That, plus Foxface's eat and poop A LOT.

 

haha.

(maybe this is just a subconcious way of me telling yself i need a bigger tank like i used to have for freshwater!)

idk, like i said, i'm planning on adding it last, by then i might have gotten too many others to even have it, or may have listened to everyone's advice and not gotten it at all... haha

 

I hope it is the latter honestly

 

haha... it probably will be, but i'm always the one who's like NO! at first, then i think about it, and end up listening

i miss my bigger cichlid tank though....

wanna see it? here's a link
