They schoal anyway, not much for tight knit swimming. I've always mixed different types (by force, it was hard to find several of the same species at the time.) They played nice, and hung out together well. I sort of preferred the variety in the end.

They're great fish. A sort of odd story of one of mine, it befriended a Siamese algae eater, they'd do courting dances sometimes, and spend all day swimming with each other.
 
Thanks man just picked up 4 emerald green rainbows (I think) gonna get another 3 or 4 boesemani

Tbh, I have 3 bosemani and I'm content with just having 3 of them. I think its worth treating them more like gourami, less like tetras in terms of conspecific interactions.

Do yours show any aggression towards one another? I have three currently until my new ones come in and the slightly biggest of the three is constantly chasing the other two around. I always feel bad for them. It must not be too bad though because they do shoal together some.
