Re: Best Schooling Fish for Planted Tanks My experience tells me there is NOTHING like the rummynose tetra. I think they are by far the best schooling fish out there. I had around 60 of them in a 500 liter planted tank and their behaviour was amazing. Great fish. Number one definitely for me.
Rasboras are also very good option. They also school nicely together and they also have very agitated behaviour. Seem to like current.
The pristella tatra is also a good schooling fish, but a little shy. I kept a shcool of around 12 of these in a 100 liter tank with lots of small leaved plants. The fish tends to be intimidated by the lights, but when the light is subdued they display their best self. Like the rasboras they enjoy current.
Only the above mentioned three species have displayed a close schooling behavior in my tanks.
My other experience is with blue neons, black neons, lemon tetras, glowlight tetras, penguin tetras, Paraguay tetras, and some others.
Good luck!
