Best schooling fish??

[kevbc03]

Hey everyone, i'm trying to figure out what fish are the best for schooling that stay small..

Im looking to stock a 55 gal.

Any ideas??

what else is going to bein there?

I'd say clown loach or tinfoil barbs, but you won't have the capacity for adults with a 55, at least not for a school.

How many school members are you looking for?

Corydoras sterbai!!!!!

I only want a school in there. So whatever schooling fish i choose, they will be in the tank alone.

I heard silver dollars were schooling fish...anybody know how big they get and how many I can have in a 55?

silver dollars, tiger barb, cardinal tetra, neon tetra, corys, glass cat, rummynose tetra, green tetra, red phantom tetra, black skirt tetra, glowlight tetra, and a lot of other fish!

and of course...exo's

You could get 6-7 spotted silver dollars i'd imagine. They usually stay around 5" full grown.


They look way better than regular SDs in my opinion too.

exodons!!!!! duh!!!!!

Single species schooling fish.... What was I thinking.... Exodons is right.
