Coolest Schooling Fish?

[DannyBoy17]

By coolest, I mean most interesting to watch. I think Neons (mine ALWAYS are together) in a tight pack of 6), and Tiger Barbs are.

Rosy barbs. They are always moving and have loads of character. They always come up and inspect everything. They eat out of my hands and they dart everywhere. Added to that, the male ones are the most beautiful reddish/purple colour. I would say hands down these are my favourite fish.

Oh there are just too many that I like. Rummy nose tetras are beautiful. I also like blue eyes and rainbows
I agree though, neons look spectacular

 

[WILDER]

Harlequins as they shoal most of the time, where some shoaling fish no longer shoal much when they are not stressed or frigtened.

I have to go with rosy barbs as well. When I had 4 adults they would stick together and dart all over the tank. When I did a water change or do anything that inloved me sticking my arm in the tank they would try and eat the freckles off my arm, thinking it was food. 3 of them died (), but had just left behind a mess of babies! So now I have 6 babes and 1 adult. 2 of the babies follow the adult around like a lost puppy, 2 baby males are constantly fighting, and the other 2 think they are platies and spend all day with my baby platies. Silly barbs, trix are for kids! I mean... yeah.

Hahah!

I have freckles too, aren't we cool? B)

My Angels like to school, so I am goin to have to say them actually. Its very pretty!

I agree with Wilder about the shoaling thing. My neons only shoal after I've just done a water change or if I've accidently sucked one up the siphon (it happens ok - they swim up to investigate the tube, stupid fish). After they've recovered they split up again.

I saw a huge school of Raphael Plecs, well they were all swimming in one corner. That was neat. Clowns in schools are also cool.

Cheers.

I have a school of 7 neons in my 30 gal and they look really pretty. I didn't notice how bright and colorful they were until I recently just added some bright live plants and a black background. I could stare at them all day! =)

My electric yellows school pretty well together...when they are not trying to destroy the loaches that is

 

[Gourami Lover88]

A shoal of discus is one of the most beautiful things you could see in a aquarium

 

[Griz]

Tough to argue with discus. Gourami Lover88

I once saw a huge school of silver dollars in a large tank in a public aquarium. Just beautiful! I think a large school of congo tetras would be pretty impressive. I The nicest school I've had personally is my current one, 16 neons. When they do school up, they look great. Mostly they wander in smaller groups of 4-6.
