Axelrodi blue for me. My pgymy corydoras also school well but bottom of the tank mostly.

What about black neon tetra and glowlight tetra? Do they school well at all if placed in a 3ft tank?

bought some ember tetras... they school very well in 20pcs... but when i add in another 20pcs from another lfs... it seems to disrupt their schooling pattern... maybe they need time to get along?

btw any recommendation of food for these ember tetras? their mouth so tiny it seems like even those Hakari micro pellets also too big for them?

You may want to try sera o-nip. All fish like it. U can split the tablet to the quantity you need and crush it. Alternatively, u can stick it on the glass wall. It will turn soft and disintegrate slowly when your fish peck and savour it.

thanks... will try sera o nip...

these few days i notice the ember tetras keep following my 2 albino cory... probably coz they will stir up those uneaten food in the substrate and eat those instead... very interesting fish...

Hi. I cant vote since i only tried 2 type of schooling fish but would like to share my exp, can right?

I had previously small school of 14 harlequins. Their schooling behaviour didnt last long. Then disaster happened all dead and i changed to purple harlequins of the same number. They do stay real tight! i had rehome them after about 1 year to a friend

Right now i have rummy nose in approx 117 gallon tank for approx 5-6 months. They school really tight until I recently added them totalling to 40-45 then they still school but divided into two schools, 1 at the back of the tank and another 1 school at the front of the tank. But they fairly still move to same direction right or left it's just that 1 school occupy the back and another on the front.

Btw im new to 'full' planted tank. So both tank were not heavily decorated, there were live plants but a few.
