So the answer is almost definitely no, but im stoll curious for a definite answer. So my question. Would a blue and green chromis school together? I mean like i get why they wouldnt, because theyre different species, however they are both chromis so there is a chance they would.

Even if they wont school together i want to know if they are compatible, because chromis are part of the damsel family. So would they attack each other?

I currently have one Chromis viridis "Queen Uronema" and one Chromis cyanea "Francois" in a 40-gallon breeder alongside one Ecsenius stigmatura "Feo." The blue green chromis is the boss of the tank and sometimes chases the blue reef chromis, but usually they ignore one another. When they feel threatened or have been introduced to a new environment, they will swim side-by-side. I have heard several reports of these species getting along (though little about them successfully schooling together), so I am hopeful my pair will work out, but I have only kept them for about two months.

Ahh thank you. That makes sense. If they do end up schooling when i get one cool, but i wont expect it from them. Thank you for the answer!!
