What type of shoaling fish is best? (How to stock 55 gallon?)

Rummynose tetras are very tight schoolers and are a very pretty fish. I have found that bloodfin tetras also school tightly togather and look awesome when they are schooling.

I think I have recommended these in every post that I have read through asking about stock but here I go again. Dwarf Neon Rainbows. I only have 5 in my 55g but they stick together and get along well with my Angel and my Bolivian Ram never bothers anyone. If you are nervous about getting German Blue Rams but really like Rams you may want to look at the Bolivian.
