Ive been looking for schooling fish. Mainly just trying to get different ideas for my 900 gallon.

schooling fish ive rememered

cichla
tetras
guppies
mollies
flag tails


thats pretty much all i can remember anyone have anymore?
 
Silver Dollars, Tiger barbs or most Tetras.
Depends on what you want them to achieve. Some little school fish do very well in larger predator tanks, the shoal representing a fish too lrge to be readily eaten.
Do you want dither fish. High speed movement. Or food?
 
A school of 12 flagtails would look cool..
Black Bar myleus would look cool too.
 
I've always liked Silver Dollars they seems to have some personality too which is always a plus. All 7 that I have like to follow me as I walk across the tank. Seems they know what time I feed them because if I'm a little late in feeding them they are all at the top of the tank looking for the food to drop.
 
Ditto on the Silver Dollars, fun fish to watch.
 
Silver dollars are great, i would get those for sure. They are active, I know they are common but I wouldn't care. You could do silver dollars as well.
