I was wondering if there are any small schooling fish? I haven't really read about any but thought someone might know. Thanks!

For a certain size tank? Or are just asking in general?
I don't mean to hijack you thread, but I have a similar question
How many cromis can I put in a 20 gallon nano? It's a mixed reef. Mainly z's n p's/shrooms

in all honesty youre looking at 2-3 fish max in a 20 gallon:/ unless you have banging filtration or do more than 2 waterchanges a week! especially with corals you dont want to be worrying about constant fluctuating parameters they wont do well:/
In very few tanks I have seen true schooling and those were larger aquariums. Same type fish swimming in the same direction does not constitute schooling or shoaling. Cardinals and Chromis seem to behave in a shoaling manner more than any other hobby fish I have seen, but again only in larger tanks.
chromis are good, but can be mean/territorial..they are a cousin to the damsel family.
might try fairy wrasses..max size on some are 2-3 inches, as are Anthias.
