yeah im thinking of rasporas but i dont know.... (they are my favorite terta but will the school?)

They will school, but they are not tetras, their in the barb (Cyprinid) family.

The tightest schooling fish I have ever seen are rummy-nose tetras. IMHO they are the most beautifull of all the tetras.

ok so they will school with out a power head or anything?

I have three in a 10g that school and I run a penguin-mini w/bio-wheel.
So I assume they would.

They are also very sensitive to water conditions.

I can tell you that neons will school but they also tend to have rogue groups. I've got a nice mixture of neons and cardinals and they'll school together they don't seem to see the difference between the two species

I have 7 Rasboras and i must say , they are a Tight schooling group as well. all day long from one end of the tank to the other..back and forth like a tennis match.
May have one straggle along in the back of the group every now and again, but he usually catches up on their way back across the tank

My neons adopted a head tetra headlight I think it is. It is kinda cool because it acts like all the other neons and schools with them
