I have eight in my 75 gallon, along with a dozen zebra danios. Also, I used to have a goldfish in with them that schooled with them. My platies also join the school whenever my catfish comes out of his cave.

i hate those fish

I'm the opposite, they are my favorite upper fish. Once I clear my goldfish out of my 55, my plan is to get them again.

I've had some with rainbows before. They seemed good together.

The more the merrier and they are an absolute blast to feed and watch. They are always on the move. Also tough as nails.

Agreed, they keep a tank active and always seemed well lived. I don't think any of mine ever died the first year of owning them.

I have a school of 28 G Danio's atm and reg zebra danio's follow them in my tank.

Wow! 28, even in my 190 I only had 6 (with 6 rainbows and about 4-6 bala sharks)

Sooo..... the rainbows did not school well with the giant danios and ended up being a snack for my Oscar LOL. At lease he didn't eat my Bosemonies that ran 12 dollars a pop.

Bosemani's are agile. They are an awesome school to have together. My advice is move the bosemans to another tank..... nobody wants to buy 12 dollar feeders

You didn't mention in your opening post you wanted them in a tank with Oscars, I would have said don't do it.
