Yes, I’m not bringing them to a schoolJust to clarify here, when you say it will be your school fish, you mean you want these fish to school in your aquarium, correct?
180 gallonYeah lots other Information needed .
Very least would be size off tank.
What other fish you got in tank or plan to get.
Other useful information would be a full tank picture to look at rockwork to see if enough hide e holes/ sleeping quarters or places for fish to hide of scared or getting bullied.
Age off tank.
If got any pests in tank that want help from the fish,like I read often damsels can eat certain pests.
Plus any other information you think could help us to help you
In that case, I'd have to say none of these are likely to be good options.Yes, I’m not bringing them to a school
Even pajama cardinals? I have heard good things about then. If not these what would be some good schooling fish, I was reading up on some Dispar AnthiasIn that case, I'd have to say none of these are likely to be good options.
The Bicolor or Royal Dottyback is noted for being extremely aggressive (Tropical Fish Magazine has an article noting that these guys will even attack much larger Trigger fish, which are usually reserved for high aggression FOWLR tanks). If you manage to get them to shoal (which is a very big if in an aquarium), there's a decent chance that they'd harass and stress your other fish pretty intensively.
The Yellowtail Damselfish have been tried in schools a number of times, and they usually whittle their numbers down by killing each other off one at a time.
The Wrasse will likely all change to male and kill each other.
Most cardinalfish species will kill each other off one at a time like the damsels - the only ones I've heard reports of decent success with are the Longspine or Threadfin Cardinalfish.
Most things I've read say that the Pajama Cardinals, while peaceful in groups, don't actually school or shoal much at all in aquariums. Lasse here on R2R even mentioned in a thread that he had 9 of them in his tank, and they pretty much all just do their own thing. I can't speak for the Dispar Anthias, as I've only heard of people keeping them in "mixed schools" of a variety of anthias species.Even pajama cardinals? I have heard good things about then.

Yeah was pyramid butterfly fish I was thinking on, @Miami Reef tank 260 gallons thoughThose pyramids are stunning! I’m surprised you didn’t go for more in such a large tank as they look even better in groups.
