schooling fish ideas

none of the fish r more then 2 inches long and they all get alonf perfectly they never fisht or pick on eachother except for my maile and femail graumis but they always chase each other arouns.
what about a pare of swordtails i had a pare a while ago in another tank and they were great
 
you do understand that those columbian sharks will eventually need brackish water as they age and then full marine as full adults, correct?

With the Angels, try going for a larger tetra like the cardinals as the smaller tetras, namely the neons are a food for the Angels in the wild and are known to follow this instinct in the home aquaria as they reach maturity.
 
i will beputign the sharks in there own tank once i get it set up it will be a 20gl bracish with sand just for those 3 guys
 
that still won't be enough room for them.

Not too familiar with the sharks, but I can safley say that youll never have that problem with Gouramis or the Angles. They will most likley totally ignore them. Rummynose and Harlequins are very fast fish.....those fish wont even get close to them

Knashash,
Let me tell you the story about my 55 Planted tank with angels. Well I wanted some schooling fish with my 4 angels I wanted some cool movement so I went to my LFS and wanted 10 zebra danios, well the shop keeper is a buddy of mine. He dipped in his net and filled up the bag, I believe i got 25 fish for the price of 10. Well after a few months I started to realize my population was dwindling. I thought ****, just stressed out dying fish, but no bodies. I did regular water changes every week. I wasnt sure what was going on. I knew I had a problem with my water but that tank got RO water. So i was bamboozled. Then one day, I was sitting there, and my barely about silver dollar size angel darts out of a large sword plant and grabs a danio. And after that, I was able to notice said behaviour in the tank. So never say never, you can never change a leapords spots, or an angel from being a predatory fish. They will go after smaller fish, its their nature.
 
Wow....I kept my Angles with rummynose and harliquins for 2 years with no issues..... but if you so I guess it can happen. Ill retract my "never".
 
cardinal tetras are my favorite. i have 10 with angels and they stick closely together. very cool. i would recomend them.
 
well i was thinking bleedign heart ones i want the tetras to be bigger than neons
