chromis schooling together

[D1J8Z]

I have a few green chromis and saw a few other types I would like to add to my tank wondering if they will school together?

anyone have any multiple kinds of chromis schooling?

If you are thinking vanderbilts, I don't believe they will school together.

My vanderbilts did school together, YMMV

It may be due to the fact that they were in a tank with larger fish. I've read that fish tend to school less when they do not feel threatened. A large tank with large fish will likely have a greater success rate with schooling chromis than a smaller tank where the chromis do not fear for their safety.

I would suppose a tank where the chromis are top dog is an unlikely place for schooling to occur.

Vanderbilts should school together, just not WITH green chromis, which is what I think he was asking.

Sorry, vanderbilts will school together, just not with greens.

In my experience, eventually chromis get picked off 1 by 1.
