    I would go for denisoni barbs! They're pretty much the only schooling fish that i've ever owned that schools tightly in every different sized tanks!

    Cardinals and rummy noses school really tightly... I bet a shoal of those would look sharp!

    cardinals school pretty tightly in a larger tank. In a tank like 36" long, they are everywhere. But with space like a 6 foot tank, they gather up and form tight school.

    We specialize in rare and exotic fish from around the world.

    its tru.. its a good way to make 100 cardinals look like a fist full of fish.. tho I find during feeding they spread out

    it looks quite funny as you see this tight bonded group then "poof" the tank is full of floresent spots as they scramble for food
