Schooling fish?

[Capsaicin]

Tiger barbs! Semi-Aggressive when in small numbers, but they do school together. Using 6 of them to cycle my tank and they look pretty neat.

Danios are the best schooling fish for me.They are very fast swimmers and most of the species are quite big up to 5" such as giant danios.

I was considering giant danios but I dont think cramming a lot in a 30 would be good.

How many can be kept in a 30?

does the 1gal/1in fish apply to tetras/other small fish?

I dont think tetras produce a large bioload, but im not an expert

I am looking for a species that schools together. I like the shoaling effect of large schools and wanted to know what species does this best.

I would like to know which would be best to keep in a 30gal. I am looking for a group that is hardy and colorful.

If you have any please share pictures

Rainbowfish.

They are a very hardy schooling fish. They come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Some varieties are small as two inches when fully grown, most are about three inches when grown, but some get a bit larger. These are peaceful fish, that do well in a planted tank. They are all active swimmers, and usually do their spawning "dance" in the early morning. I like to watch their show while I have my morning coffee.

Lots of info about them on the internet, with color pictures of these beautiful fish.
