My new 380 is up and running!!:smokin:

I have just added 8 Anthias and already have the following:

1. Big Fat Green Manderin
2. Foxface
3. Coral Beauty Angel (model citizen, no nipping)
4. 2 false Percs

The tank is 10 feet long so I really want to stick to pairs and schooling fish because, I never have had a tank with this much swimming room. It will be a mixed reef so they need to be reef safe.

So fire away with the suggestions please!!

Thanks for the help,
Stilgore

How about a school of some kind of tang? Like Convicts, Atlantic Blues, or Yellows?

You might be able to do a small heard of yellow tanks in a 10' long 380.

Wonder if you could do a pair of achilles tangs! That'd be something to see!

Chromis might actually not kill each other off in there.

I'm jealous!

Oooo...Some excellent suggestions.

I thought about the yellow tangs. There are three beautiful ones at a local fish store that seem to get along well.

What really peaks my interest is the wrasses!!!

Which wrasses will school? Any suggestions would be great

Thanks again,
Stil

My trio of Carpenters flasher wrasses don't really school, but they're constantly interacting with one another: following, chasing, flashing, etc.

That would be so beautiful to have a large enough tank to get trios of fairy wrasses and flasher wrasses they are so nice looking and when they flash they look even better. They get along with eachother also.Then you can get a couple three larger single eye candy too of other fish like tangs and such.
