others(please post what is the fish)
hi guys, would like to know what fish schools best in your tank.
please note :
1) please poll only if you have tried keeping the fishes and you find that they school really well.
2) you are allowed to poll more than 1 choice if you have a few choices that school equally well
3) please do not poll if you have a predatory fish in your tank that makes the fish schools.
thanks

It is a good day to die!!!
I finally uploaded an avatar and Cupid is dead!!!
yea i agree... rummy nose are big...
anyway.. i have tried cardinal tetra, boraras brigittae and golden white cloud minnow.
only the gloden white cloud school in a tight school of 10.
Boraras brigittae form loose to tight schools for me. I have not kept enough specimens for the other species to see if they form tight schools.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
strangly, my 20 piece of broraras brigittae don't school at all even with a apisto agasizzi in there..
i have 2 separate tanks of boraras (used to have 3 but combined the boraras in 2 of the tanks into just 1 tank) and they've always schooled for me.
Rasbora einthovenii and Rasbora dorsiocellata. The latter is particularly lively and their blue eyes and silvery bodies a good contrast to a rich green/brown background.
Rummynose definitely. My 1st choice!!
-clint- ~apisto keepers unite!~
keep 4 rummynose tetra, 6 grow light tetra and 8 neon tetra in 3ft tank, only rummynose school
Have 20+ Cardinal, 5 Black Neon, 5 Glowlight tetra, 8 Rummynose. Rummynose no matter what keeps in a tight pack.
Next project: Converting my 3ft freshwater fish planted tank into a shrimp tank.
seems like rummynose is a great schooler! but rummynose is quite big.. not quite suitable for 2ft tanks
Golden tetra
The boraras brigittae is definitely the way to go!
Not only do they make your tank look bigger due to their small size(one of the smallest out of yopur polling list if i'm correct),they form very tight schools when left alone.The only drawback being due to their size,they might take awhile to get used to human presence? Corydoras anyone? The pgymy families school particularly well! Your hasbrosus look damn good when they school!
White cloud minnow is the only schooling fish that i got in big enough numbers 100+ looks good in a 4ft tank and are tough as well.
rummynose tetra for me
Besides my vote for espei and lampeyes...i also vote hyphessobrycon elachys.
Gentle giants of congo tetras is schooling for me despite in school of only 8 ( in fact it takes only 6 for them to school) , bigger tank owners might wanted to consider this species.
Seems golden tetra arent usually chosen to school in tanks due to their dull colors.
Golden tetras? what are they known as scientifically?
