Schooling fish, semi aggressive.

[Bsixxx]

Looking for a schooling fish that gets over 6" to avoid predation in my tank, looking for decent colors, other than yellow and blue if possible in coloration. Anything but angelfish and tangs if possible... their mouths are ugly to me... Price doesn't matter as long as it matches the criteria... Also can't be a crustation eater if possible...

Current stock for tank intended is...

1x 14" solid black volitan lionfish
2x 22"-31" brazillian horned dragon morays
1x 12" blue eyed toadfish
1x 30" tesselated eel.
1x 8" australian harlequin tuskfish.

tank 250 96x24x25...

thanks in advanced.

I know they might be too small, but have you thought about green chromis? They're only $3 each around here, it would be cheap enough to try it IMO

i can get them cheaper. but Id rather not rish money for potential feeders.

Maybe i'll just throw in 15 or so... but would also like to try and find a potential permanent resident schooling fish as well..

Hey, I though you sold those listed fish...must of been a diferent thread lol.

You should try pilot fish, look downs...i dont think they last long in a 225...

Some full size larger anthias get to be like 5" but you would want to buy them fully grown, the arent the most aggressive of fish.

Sold everything but the lionfish and the eel. I would love pilot fish but not until a bigger tank.
