Green Neon Tetra ( Paracheirodon Simulans )

I have a dozen fairly mature ones.

They don't want to pose, but you have one here:

Thanks. I cant seem to get any of mine to stay still for a second. Not to mention having to use a Macro lens to get the shot, they are so small.

What did you do with them Nick?

I have about 75 in a 20 long and they are schooling just fine.

haha They def school better than some others but nothing like a nice school of rummies. :hihi:

From what I can tell they only school when in panic mode. Otherwise its every fish for itself. I can see if you had these in a tank with other larger fish and they would keep tight. In a tank where they dominate its not going to happen.

I've got 50 in a tank by themselves and they school all over the tank.

my buds got about 20 gnt's with a school of 10 roseline sharks in a 90 and both school beautifully!

I have about 40 in a tank and they are all overt the place. Only when they are spooked do they tighten up. By themselves I cant see it happening. If anybody has a photo or video of them in a tank "by them selves" please do share
