Schooling fish?
I have a 70 gallon aquarium and was interested in adding 3 or 4 small fish that would school together.
I have heard that in "smaller" tanks they usually will for a while but then they stop if there is no predator present. Anyone have any ideas what would be a good choice for this... if it is worth it?

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Banner fish also like to school alot bigger then chomis tho.
like the size of your hand.  But should be noted they are not reefsafe.

I thought green chromis but I heard they start killing each other after a while. Anyone had purple chromis? Quote:

I've always used blue/green chromis to school and draw out the more shy fish...they're an excellent dither fish (similar to rainbows in freshwater) never had any problems with them. There'll be a school of 6 in our 75 at the shop

Green chromis are awesome, i had 5 in my 90 one disappeared but I have had 4 for a good 4 months, and they are awesome they are normally all in a group, especially if they see people outside of the tank they will all group up. Also they always stay at the front of the tank where everyone can see them!
