Two neons and two cardinals might school together though, if only out of stress. Given the opportunity though, neons and cardinals will form their own schools.

If they have a school of their own, they'll stay separated. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

There was a GIANT school of neon tetras, but when I looked closer, I could see that some were neons and some were cardinals. Because schooling is based on sight, they will school together. They look virtually identical, so I doubt the fish would be able to tell the difference. Just for the purity of a tank though, I would try to get only one kind. However, if it is unavoidable, they will school together. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.
