Most schooling fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mybad, let me rephrase it, what fish schools the most? Examples: Cardinal tetras, Rainbowfish, Neon tetras, serpae tetra, etc. You know, fish that schools. I want to know which fish form schools and never leave eachother's side.

i guess Cardinal Tetras...i used to have a school of about 30-45 of Cardinal Tetra's before i ever became a member on this forum in a 60 gallon it was planted but only used liquid Co2 for it
 
rainbow fish are good shoalers, my banded rainbows stayed together all the time. my filament barbs always stay together too and they are always active and bright, could be because the 2 males are trying to get into the females pants so to speak. but they did it when they were young too. they get a good size too about 5" ish.
clown loaches stay as a group pretty much, the stragler here and there but not too bad.
neon tetras as mentioned are good but they do split up often IME.
 
If you are looking for a smaller schooling fish, rummynose tetras tend to stay in a tight group
 
Looking for larger go with tinfoils or balas.
