Schooling fish

[fishfeind]

I am Looking for some interesting fish that school together and will look good in a 90 gallon tank, anyone have some ideas? thanks.

Well theres tetras, barbs, rainbow fish, rasboros and all knids of other fish that could fit that bill, which types of fish do you like?
A personal favourite of mine are congo tetras which look great in a shoal of 7 or more fish and get to around 3 1/2" long (adult male size). Silver dollars also make a nice display but have the drawback of being plant eaters and tiger barbs can look stunning but limit possible tankmates through aggresive nippy behaviour.

A mix of Bala sharks and silver dollars would be good. They are both schooling fish and are silver. Matches well.

I agree with CFC tiger barbs would look great........and therefore so will pentazola barbs, a little smaller, and without the bad rep and therefore much less likely to prevent you getting other community fish with them

............or at least thats what I am hoping Im getting a new 30 gallon and about 5-6 of these next month to have in the same tank as my black phantom tetra shoal and then hopefully a couple of small angels at a later date

I highly recommended the black phantoms by the way, I could watch the way they sail around the tank with those high fins for hours, they are lovely and I would never be without some in my tank from this day forward

Tiger barbs!! I got 6 a few days ago for my 200g, and they are awesome little guys, school very tightly, not to mention they are inherently gorgeous anyways
