Schooling fish recommendation
- Thread starter tiger15
- Start date
I didn’t think post #11 had anything to do with the schooling fish inquiry
These are the fish I assumed already exist in the tank to which you want to add a shoal ...
I still wouldn’t put pencilfish into this group
You’d likely never see any active hunting, just the slow disappearance of the pencilfish shoal
Congo tetras are a completely different sort &would be worth trying but add 15-20 not 5-10
Congo Tetras are beautiful. My tank is not big enough for 15-20, 5-10 should be OK. Just want to make sure they won't nip on my plants.
Yes, pencil fish are too small and delicate to survive with my cichlid. I have mistaken them as another larger schooling fish called cigar fish that stay in the bottom water column. Pencil fish are nice and stay in the upper water column. What other schooling fish like to stay near the surface.

Hatchetfish are the most common. Their body shape may mean they are off the menu?
