I am curious as to see what people use as schooling fish in there tanks. So what size tank and what species of school fish and also what are they in the tank with. I know people use tinfoil barbs, siliver dollar, giant danios , and rainbows, etc. so just looking for what people use as schooling fish as there as so many options and pic would help to
 
I'm presently growing out a bala shark school.
 
Sliver dollars in my tank with clown loaches, 2 sens, a knife, a green sev, and a fei feng. They are my only current midwater schoolers right now. When all the fish get moved to the 120, I'll up the group to 8-10, right now I only have 3
 
My g/f has a group of rummynose (5) and they school GREAT. and a group of cherry barbs (5 also) they don't school for crap. Also a small group of green tiger barbs (3) they school pretty well usually one stragler. We are going to get a group of roseline sharks but I don't think they school very well I have seen some in tanks at the LFS and they don't ever seem to be schooling but they look good.
 
I have a small school of hujeta characins. They school really well until feeding then its every fish for itself. I also had 4 acestro falcatus that schooled very well and were all ways on the hunt.<--red tailed barracuda.
