I love a large school of pygmy corys
I've got a 40g breeder with 15 rummynose tetra and sometimes watch them schooling back and forth in the tank for hours 😂
Nice!
i’ve never seen the snakeskin barb but they look awesome!
Great video! I’m coming back to the hobby after 40 years! Yours and Joanna’s channels are really helping me out! Thanks so much!
Good to hear!
Love this one! Thank you. Those congos are just gorgeous. Thank you
Glass Cats made it to the list, nice!
Great top 5 and congos are one of my all around fish to keep
Really cool fish. Thanks for the info on them.
Love my group of glass cats, they are so amazing to watch at feeding time, so incredibly flexible!
Loved this list! I really loved how all five weren’t all the popular fish in the hobby. Always like hearing not so popular fish suggestions!!
Thank you!
Great list, thanks!
Those snakeskin barbs are absolutely beautiful! I haven’t seen them around my town, but I’ll definitely keep an eye out. Love that pattern!
Absolutely love rummys, never had any issues with mine, they school beautifully at the bottom. Paired up with scissor tail rasboras that school lovely middle to top they make for a great tank .
Just bought some Congo Tetras. Can't wait for them to colour up!
I had giant danios in my 80gal, a group of just 8 and they shcooled in such a tight "ball" all the time :3 I loved them. I thing they are the best schooling fish.
I've never seen the snakeskin barb but it looks awesome! I don't know much about barbs. I was about to ask about that fish until you ended up covering it later in the video. Neat.
My favorite barb!
Had some rummy nose for a couple years, but no doubt beauties to watch school. Enjoyed the vid!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
I really like Snakeskin Barbs and Briliant Rasboras. I have kept both and have some of each now 😊 They are very peaceful and fun to watch. The bigger the number the better!
In my 40 long, I have a school of White Clouds. Not really schooling, but they definitely like being together. Love em!
My Congo Tetras I just got school wonderfully. And I must say my other tetras school well too, green neons, embers, glo-light, and candy canes.
Corycats will always be my favorite schooling fish.
Nice list
Nice list. Thanks. (Gina)
Cool
All beautiful fish on your list. I’m glad glass catfish are here, they’re a fascinating animal! One way they show color, however is if side lighting (usually ambient room lighting) hits them at the right angle, their bodies become living, oscillating prisms, refracting a rainbow of shimmering colors. This is usually more apparent when the tank lights are dim or off.
Yes! They have some cool iridescence!
Wow that’s an amazing barb
Later this year, I'm doing a 125g congo tetra species only tank. I just love the way they look.
That will be awesome!
Interesting comment about the glass cat. I had not thought about it , but you are right: back in my first time in the hobby, 70’s to 90s, they were everywhere. Now I only see them on CZcams 🧐
Ya, I wish they were available more.
Spot on list... I'd toss in the Cory habrosus & Reed tetra if anything. They school together and move up and down the water column, very animated for such uncolorful fish
For sure!
Love the Rummy Nose Tetra but I’ve had no luck with them in regards to them getting Ich…would definitely recommend keeping them in higher temps.
I find that mine tend to develop "stress" ich
@@Karp_Keeper it’s too bad because I love the look of them schooling but who knows I might give it a go in the future…
@@terrymartins2552 they seem to recover on their own though. It's not the variant that multiplies rapidly
I like lemon tetras! May not school super tight, but boy do they pop in a Planted tank with dark substrate and a black background
Extra upside. Brilliant green rasbora almost never picker between each other. They're native here in VN, therefore not many ppl even considered them as ornamental fish. I had to collect them one by one mixed in feeder fish (exclamation rasbora) batches. Even in small numbers, they always stick together, and can fare pretty well with aggression from other species. One small downside is even they're somewhat aggressive eaters, they'll be intimidated by other aggressive feeders
This is the Rasbora borapetensis, native to quite a large territory in south east Asia.
Happy to see the list was so diverse! Most of these are x species of Tetra all the way down the list. 🤣✌️
I tried to focus on fish that really like to hang out together!
Don't have any small cichlids but my Turkana Jewel pair but I luv yall fish room
I like dem Congo Tetras
Another species of lil fish are not in your top 5 are the Neon Tetras luv em
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾on video
I have 21 Glowlight Danios in a 90 gallon. Very tight schooler and faster than most tetras. Love it.
Dwarf rainbowfish are great too
My Goyder River Rainbows share a tank with my herd of panda corys. They are tied for 1st opace for me for schooling fish that I have. (at least today! lol)
If I’m being honest I think you are a better CZcamsr than KGTropicals
Thank you for the perfectly timed list. I'm currently building a 75 gallon scape for a pair of melanotaenia sp kali moysi and I am on the hunt for some schools of small fish to fill it with. Will you and Mrs. smallscape be at Aquashella in Dallas? I hope so!
See you there!
@@PrimeTimeAquaticsSweet!!! I'll see you in the creator area!
I know there was a hidden mention of the Green Neon in there. I saw them on the store schooling so tight I couldn't resist. Got 30 of those guys now.
: -)
Black neon tetras and Hengeli rasboras for me.
I love green tetras
I got 20g and had Female Half moon betta ,3Cory doras, 4 Black skirt long pin tetra,and 4 sunburst platies and they are fine with each other.😂
Roseline sharks should be on that list
I was recently given a 20 long and I will be putting a 8 green rasbora and a Bolivian Ram, good combo ? 😊
That should work!
When you were talking about the glass cat, there were some red/orange fish with big black stripes in the shot. What are those? They're gorgeous!
Maybe my clown loaches?
No, they almost look like barbs but not. They have irregular black stripes. @ 3:37 @PrimeTimeAquatics
What are those tiger barb looking fish at 3:13! They look very nice
Snakeskin barb
Never seen the green rasbora or snake skin bars at the LFSes here.
In the silver tip tetra tank, what kind of rock background is that?
That was from Universal Rocks.
What kind of geos are in the tank with the glass cats?
A mix of megasema and probably Altifrons or winemilleri.
Giant Danio
White Cloud Minnow
Black Neon Tetra
Black Skirt Tetra
Serpae Tetra
I enjoy your videos but is there any chance you can include metric units of measurement for us non-Americans please?
You think Congo tetra what go with tiger barbs?
It can work in tanks at least 4ft.
I like snake skin barbs
Where can I find these fish? Do you sell them? I can’t find many of these at my local pet stores.
They are usually readily available. We haven't had them at the swaps for a while.
I do like watching my rummy nose.
Please do not think I have a biased point of view,its just lack of Experience on my part with Fishkeeping.That being said..the only FishyFriend Group I have been blessed with owning from this video thus far is the Glass Cats.
For anyone on the Fence about Glass Cats ?..Do It! They are Fantastic fish individually and collectively.I have found them to be very hardy,easy to feed,peaceful,and down- right Hypnotizing to watch.If light hits at just the right angles,their bodies appear to be Rainbows in motion.I could not recommend them more!
Yes!! 😀
when you say "x amount of fish in a 20g or x amount in a 50g" is that the total amount of fish that should be in that tank size for that type of fish? example: you mentioned like 25 green rasboras for a 55gal..., so you should only have 25 green rasboras in the 55, no other fish?
You can add other fish too
Oh good-I was wondering that too
I think the glass cats are gaining popularity again. They were everywhere 30 years ago. Ember tetras are my favorite even though I believe they technically are shoaling fish.
