I've got seven limas, and they school better than most tetras.
Mine just eats sinking pellets, and maybe some shrimps.
Love seeing catfish schools! Nice tank.

That would be cool to see a big school of limas in a big tank.

You don't need a monster tank. I guess 5 limas would do fine in 200g.
My tank is slightly bigger - 6' x 4' x 2'.
