Chromis or damsel fish would be a good option or smaller anthias

I really like how Banggai Cardinal fish hang together. They're pretty cool looking too!

I agree with Bangais

Best bet would probably be a type of cardinal fish. Pajamas, Bangais, etc.

Banggani Cardinals will murder each other until theres a male and female paired up. But they are super cool! I had 5 zebra dart gobies that schooled together in my 70 gallon. They hung out at the top. Cool little fish

Awesome thanks for the advice I think I will go with a pair of bangais any advice on how to tell the gender or are all of them sold in matched pairs?

Threadfin cardinals school the best I've seen in smaller tanks. Not show stoppers individually though

Males have a bigger jaw than females. Easiest to tell from the side since the “chin” is bigger and steeper on males

red spot cardinals are my favorite
but they are small fish, very active and from my experience require multiple feedings a day (found that out the hard way unfortunately) but they’re pretty cool
remind me of tetras kinda
