Default School Suggestions...

Im in the process of building a rather large tank for a customer and was looking for suggestions for various schools of fish. So far I was planning on putting in 15 semilavartus butterflys, 15 pakistani butterflys, probably a school of lookdowns, and Im trying to decide what type of tang schools I should use? There will be the usual large angels as well. Any suggestions??? What would you put in your dream tank?
Thanks:Kyle

How large is "rather large"? With the type of populations your mentioning I'm hoping swimming pool is your answer.

One thing I'm sure you've thought about is moisture levels. I'd imagine you've heard about that fellow with the 4000gal tank having to shut it down because it was rotting his house from the inside out even with good ventilation. Kind of dampened my fantasies of a huge tank.

But..., if I we're dreaming, I think I'd set something up along the lines of Richard Harker's 20' tank. A large school of flasher wrasses, naso, powder blue, sailfin and a few other assorted fish.

How about a school of Heniochus ? ( aka black & white bannerfish )

Cheers

Hmm 100x's bigger than my tank.. lol.


I agree with the Heniochus.. those would look nice.. Very nice.. I'd go for some of those before Tangs(well depending on the tang).. make it a buttefly tank. Of sorts.

Default schooling fish

There not that big. But Bar gobies can be kept in school. I have two of them and really enjoy them. They are always together. They can be kept in large schools.

Or where the heck one would put it. It would be rather heavy!
