yeah white clouds!! haha i love them, they are so cool! they remind me more of a shoal than a school though, anyway you can see a few of mine on my avator
 
Rummy Nose is my favourite from that list, but my all time fav is the Cardinal Tetra. I also love the Serpaes, but they don't school as tightly as my cardinals. I find my tetras school better when there is some open areas plus when there is some current travelling the length of the tank, like from a powerhead.
 
I've kept serpae, cardinal, danios, and white clouds before. They are all great fish and I think all the fishes above are great as well. But out of those I kept, I think the white clouds grouped the most satisfactorily and are my favorite. The serpaes picked on each other a lot and the weaker ones hid from the dominant one. The danios are very active and fun to watch. The cardinals stayed in a group but didn't move around much (due to the small tank size). The white clouds grouped and are very active as well. :)
