Chromis & Blennies

[mikeclarke]

I'd like to be able to set up my 20 gallon tank with a couple cheap and hardy fish (which is why I was thinking chromis). I will keep it separate from my 100 gallon reef tank. I can use the 20 gallon tank as a fish only tank and if I get a sick fish or need to quarantine a new fish, I can move the chromis to the sump of the big tank and then move the fish I need to quarantine into this tank. I have the 20 gallon on a shelf off the kitchen so I'd like to have soemthing in it when I don't have a qt fish.

As for the blenny, I really like the one I have in my 100 gallon and I'd like to get another small fish with personality. I'd eventually like to get a tang but I want to stay pretty cheap for the time being.

Any suggestions for the hard guys for the 20 gallon? and for the personality fish for the 100gal?

I originally got pj cardinals (6 of them I think) for my 100 gallon about a year ago. 3 of them killed two and I was able to catch the really beat up guy and qt him until it was healthy. Once he was healthy, the other three killed him in a day but I wasn't able to rescue him. I was told by the sales person that they would be nice schoolers, which is what I wanted in my tank. Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't recommend them in the future as the three that are left don't really school at all.

Does anyone hasve any suggestions for schooling fish if I ever decided to do that in the future?
