any help
 
Do some research on Cory's. There's bound to be a few of those that school together on the bottom.

I thought the Albino Cory's would... but my 5 guys don't seem to do it often.

You could look into Exodons, they're one of the most exciting fish to feed in large schools.

I've also heard they can be very protective of themselves. I read online somewhere someone once found one of their exodons had jumped out and he must have discovered it within a few minutes of its escape as it was still alive. When he put it back the more aggressive larger fish became aware it was struggling and started nosying around for a quick snack. The school of exodons quickly swarmed the weakened exodon and fended off the bigger predators.
 
they don't really sound like a community fish
