Ideas For A Schooling Fish

[tez2k007]

Just wondering what is a good schooling fish. Say maybe a group of 10 or 12 for example. Obviously not neon tetras as I have bigger fish such as Angels and Silver sharks. Other fish I already have include Congo tetras, corys, clown loaches, blue apistos, rams,

Just fancy something different. Would have loved some tiger barbs if they did not go for fins. Any ideas?

Giant Danio's?

James.

Diamond Tetras (assuming they're compatible with the others)!

how many congo tetras do yuou have? you could up the number of those.

I have about 20 columbian tetras and they look fantastic when swimming together.

I currently only have 4 as one went awol a while back. 3 of them have really good finnage while one looks slightly different dont know if its a difference in male and females. I was actually considering upping the numbers to be honest was just considering other options. Also have a snowball plec also and thinking of adding another similar size type of plec in.

Your Congo Tetras would appreciate a group of 8+; your corys would do well is a 6+ group of their own species; your Clown Loaches would love a 6+ group too (plus you probably don't need me to tell you they are going to need at least a 5-foot tank long term).

How big is your tank?

How about a top-dweller, like a hareem of Golden Wonder Panchax?

Tank is 400ltrs. Think I will definently up the numbers for my congo Tetras. I have 6 Corys but they are a mix of peppered and albino. 4 Clown Loaches. 2 Adult Angels. 2 Bala Sharks. 2 Flying Foxes. 3 Blue Apistos. 1 Snowball Plec.

Yeah I was planning on doing that actually. Had these 2 close to a year now. Definently not the fastest growing fish I must say.
