if you buy enough of them.. like 8-10.. in a large tank.
For me they arent great schoolers. On a scale of 10 I give them a 6.5 My rummy nose school very well
They didn't work me either, once they settle down they are all over the place!
Depends on the size of the tank. Don't expect them to shoal in a 10 gallon tank, which gives them no room to swim around. Also if there are fish that would kind of heard them around, like discus.
you definitely need a large tank.
fish school for protection... So you need a 'dangerous' looking fish in the tank as well.. and of course, this fish wouldn't actually do anything.. Like a discus, but they're super hard to take care of... maybe a ram or a rainbow, or angels.

I have all those you mentioned and none of them would make neons and cardinals shoal.:flick: This is beyond my expectations.:wink:you definitely need a large tank.

True. Honestly, rummies are the only tetras that shoal tightly of all the tetras I have kept.:wink:bigstick120 said:For me they arent great schoolers. On a scale of 10 I give them a 6.5 My rummy nose school very well
ok, thanks, yeah my neons don't really school that well either. I have eight of them in a 50 gallon, with no larger fish. They only school during water changes, but its ok. They are still nice looking fish.
We ought to be the same person.They only school during water changes, but its ok.
My tetras also regroup whenever I do my tank maintenance.:smile::icon_mrgr
In that case, YOU'RE the threat/danger. haha.
Mine do the same thing though. Plus, when I get close to the tank, they sometimes get startled and dart from one end of the tank to the other. Of course, they have a lot of swimming room right now (18 harlequin rasboras in a 90g).

my rummy nose don't school all that much either... when they feel safe and comfortable, they go on their own way... although I need more of them since a few died but they're so expensive where i live.. they're $5 each... and no group price.For me they arent great schoolers.

fish a fish to school there has to be a danger present. its a deffensive thing. there school to look large.
My rummynoses schooled pretty well when the only other fish in the 20g were ottos. But they seem to be rather delicate. My school of ~8 or so is now 3 and they cost around $4/ea here.
