    Those are the lampeye tetras right? Love them. Gold tetras are nice too but kinda expensive.

    Rasboras hengeli for me. Fell in love with the inverted NIKE swoosh.

    Poll for your best schooling fish!

    Filament barbs in my opinion seems like a good schooling fish. The only bad thing is to have a tank big enough for them. Mine is growing too fast. Might come to a day where I have to let go of them ;(

    Re: Poll for your best schooling fish!

    I have 65 pieces of glowlight tetras and 29 pieces of black neons in my 3 feet tank but the glowlights are always hiding or stay among the driftwood and plants.They do not move around together but my black neons school fairly well.

    How to get the glowlights to move around the tank?

    Tried black neon. First day school together. After that, split individually.

    Recently tried a school of Axelrodi (blue), and I'm happy to see them schooling tight!

    I think Cherry Barbs are great if you school them alone with other fishes. However, they like to attack other fishes so it may not be a good choice for a community aquarium. I feel you should add Danios. They make great schooling fish too!

    My top choice is Green Tiger Barbs. They are simply beautiful.
    But make sure your tank is at least 3ft with a dark background and get a big school.
    It's pure joy! And they are easy to feed.

    It's not a good idea to mix different schools in the same tank.

    In my limited experience, I find that schooling fish are most naturally at home among their own kind. The presence of other species within the limited confines of a fish tank affects their behaviour, hence they would not be at their 'top form'.

    Hi All, I'm new member here. Apparently I am keeping Cardinal and Rummynose tetra and I find that Rummynose are more schooling fish.

    And also depending on the size of your black neon, i have some long time ago they are pretty aggressive and kind of nipping other fishes fins
