They tend to hang out in loose groups, whereas schooling fish will group together pretty tightly, often all facing in the same direction. You could definitely get a big school of rummies, at least ten. There seems to be quite a bit of room in your tank. Just be aware that they can be difficult to acclimate to a new tank, so take extra good care of them if you buy them. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

terranova Fish Master Posts: 1984 Kudos: 1889 Votes: 229 Registered: 09-Jul-2003	hahah Rummies Gotta love 'em! Cute little schoolers these guys are, I'd go with a group of at LEAST 8. IME, if you get them healthy they are fine, but if you get a shakey batch in...they will almost always end up with spots and need to be medicated. I'd QT these guys at all costs. Awesome tetra though. G/L with them, get us piccies if you can. Last edited by Ferretfish at 18-Jan-2005 18:01 -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

How big are your Angels?. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

The Angels never made any attempt to attack them, although they WOULD go after fish the size of Neons and Harlequins.
