grrrrrrrrrrr members of damnsel family.......killed one of my clowns. Took me forever to catch them and take them back to the lfs..... maybe if you added them last rather than at the beginning they wouldn't be too bad.

How big is your tank? The tank size depends on what you can get, especially tangs--they need a lot of swimming room

Firefish can hang in groups, cardinalfish...just depends how much space you got.

Clowns are also members of the damsel family. I havnt heard of chromis being particuarly picky, but each is different I guess.

In that size tank you would either want to just have a shoal of 10, 12 chromis and not much else, or, if you can get them, one of the smaller cardinals (NOT Banggaiis!!!). In little tanks you do not get many shoaling options.
It seems smaller groups of chromis can be very hit and miss on whether they shoal or 'erode' each other.

its a 75 gallon

 

[aresgod]

well, you could have 1, maybe 2 small yellow tangs in a 75, not multiple types, clowns would be fine....I would say chromis are your best bet to get a school.

My Dartfish stick together. Im sure if I got more they would do the same. They are not darting all over the tank but there is a variety of colors to choose from and they are pretty docile. Ive never been a fan of Chromis.

[LoveMeSomeFish]
