Will Dwarf Rainbowfish And Threadfin Rainbowfish Shoal Together?

[14gtr14]

Will these shoal together as they are both similar sized rainbows? Or will they not due to being different genus'?

thanks

I have both threadfin and dwarf rainbows and they pretty much stay with there own kind. I think the dwarf swim faster that the threadfins. So In my experience they will not shoal together.

Nope, they won't, as Santos said.
They are too different to schoal. The I. werneri wouldn't be able to keep up anyway.
As for "dwarf rainbow", do you mean M. praecox or M. pygmaea ?
Probably M. praecox... It does grow a bit bigger than the werneri so I wouldn't say they are similar sized...
