    budak, give the guy a break

    any way sorry to miss your drinking binge, some other time lah, but not so late because I'm also a little budak
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Do note, most schooling fish school for protection. If there are no threats in your tank, they eventually end up not schooling. Some even turn a little territorial and start to chase other fishes out of their "personal space".

    Anyway, my point is, don't expect to school tightly once they get use to the tank, if there are no threats.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    I found that, without threats, my Rummy Nose Tetras seem to school as well. Not my Cardinal Tetras.

    I find that the bigger the tank, there will be a higher chance of fish swiming in groups. Seems like got to play with no. of fish to the size of tank or space.

    Actually, Corydoras are very sociable and shoal very naturally. Corydoras pygmaeus and hastatus and good schooling fishes at mid level. A shoal of 25 to 50 is very impactful. Amano uses them in his layout too.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
