Schooling fish

Question
Hi Karen,

im soon to be upgrading to a bigger tank, 300L(75g), and ive just recently come to the decision that i would like to occupy the tank with schooling fish, only because there is some sort of serenity to them when they swim together :P

anyway i would like to know some good schooling fish that i could have for my new tank, ive already decided on Bala Shark as one of them, possible 4 or 5 (maybe more) of them in the tank.

Could you please help me to find good schooling fish?

thanks in advance

shane

Answer
Hi Shane,
Well, lets see-

*Bala sharks are a good one as you know
*Silver dollars
*Barbs
*Larger tetras (Red-eye tetras, Congo tetras, ect...)
*Rainbow fish
*Giant Danios
*Scissor-tail rasboras
*Clown loaches

These are just some of the ideas I can think of that'd make interesting somewhat larger fish for your tank.

Best of luck and I hope this helps!
Karen~
