Odd Schooling School

[juwelfan]

Hi,
Has anyone else observed the, IMO, odd behaviour of unrelated fish species schooling together?
My female dwarf gourami, 2 panda cory and a small bronze cory spend 10s of mins at a time swimming back and forth in formation.

Is it possible that they all enjoy the comfort and protection the behaviour may offer against the bullying of my male dwarf gourami?

I have a female cory that hangs with an African dwarf frog

Ok, you win, i think a frog and a cory make an odder pair!

Yeah my iridescent shark, 2 sunset gouramis, a bronze cory, and 3 rainows school together about 20 minutes after feeding.

Hey! My albino Krib went though a stage of resting on the back of my albino ACF but he only does it from time to time now, the frog doesn't seem to mind... I wondered for a while whether the krib was trying to camoflage(sp?) himself?!?

my red eyed tetra, 2 black widows and platy shoal, the black widows don't like any other widows as tankmates, and the red eye came in with a batch of now eaten neons

I am still laughing at the frog
my silver sharks swam with the scissortails but when they died then they swam with the neon tetra(single dont ask) but then the sharks died so the tetra got lonely and the glowlights just hung at the bottom so I rehomed all the tetra and now the neon has a real shoal to swim with
