Schooling Fish Questions/suggestions

[Richard22b]

Hi all
I want some schooling fish in my tank as I personnaly think its nice to watch them go around.

I currently have 6 odessa barbs and 3 silver dollars.

Is it worth increasing the size of the group for one of these or can someone reccomend an alternative schooling fish.

My tank is 528 and details can be found on my signature.

Rainbow Fish?
Melanotaenia Lacustris
Melanotaenia Praecox
Melanotaenia Boesemani

I don't know about increasing your current shoals. If they seem bold and active then it's probably not neccesary but if you would prefer a bigger shoal then...do.

I love Odessas, so would reccomend increasing that shoal. I think 12 of them would be awesome!

Also im thinking about a shoal of red serpae tetra myself, they are nice.

Consider black skirt tetra too? They are an unusual fish and can get to a nice size.

I love my shoal of 10 Praecox, I call them the Horde Really nice to watch, and a much better neon blue colouration than they appear to have in the shops

Getting more odessa's is sounding a good way
