Neons only schoal at night

[evilbunny]

my tetras hide and gropuped together when i introduced my silver sharks but after a day or two they were all over the place, and they're not together during the night, if u turn on the light when u first walk in there all over the place sleeping.

but everynow and again when the feel like it the group together, or maybe it's something else and i haven't worked it out yet

IME when the lights are on my 25+ tetras hang about in little mixed groups and every now and then one group will head for the bogwood cave and the rest will follow, they all then re-appear through the 'skylight' all in a line holding hands and singing (well not the last bit).
When the lights are off they all tend to group together around the plants or the cave.

I love it when my neons schoal together, swimming in line from one end of the tank to the other, then grouping for a while... but they only seem to do this when the moonlight goes on and the main lights go out.
What makes them schoal?

Choose one. School or shoal, not schoal.

Out of all the things you could have added to this thread you have to be pedantic and picky about someones spelling? Maybe you should have kept yourself out of this thread If this is all have to add to the forums.

Um, I was simply making a humorous, good-natured remark (indicated by the little happy face, that's what they are for). It is you who is being aggressive and attacking people for no reason, and if you can't take a little joke maybe you shouldn't be here at all.

my neons never shoal, all they do is chase each other around the tank. my harlequins shoal all the time though...yep.
