Hey sorry for the stupid question but can someone name some other school fish besides neons, cardinals, and white clouds? Which would be good in a 90g community tank

I agree with scottracy. I have 8 black neons and 8 rummy noses and they complement each other so well. A school of corys on the bottom is unbeatable.
Good suggestions! Rummy nose tetras are so neat!! There are also several types of rasboras that school well. Of course, I love cory cats and loaches but it depends on the level of the tank you are trying to fill. Have fun!
IME, the very best schoolers are Debaui catfish, but they are only diurnal in less-than-bright tanks unless there is a good cover of floating plants - without that they go nocturnal.
Next best are slender Rasboras, the Green-eyed Rasboras are excellent small fish, the Scissors-tailed Rasboras for medium, multiple larger Rasboras are excellent schoolers also. The Rummy-nose Tetras are the best of the Tetras, but Bleeding Hearts will come close in larger tanks with good open swimming space across the front of tanks >4' in width. Ditto the Congos for larger tanks (but they may well nip tender new growth on stem plants).
