Rummynose tetra's with Neon tetra's???

[PUNISHER VETTE]

I have a few neon tetras and was wondering if adding some Rummy nose ones is okay.

Do they get along? will they school with each other? if not the rummy nose ones will school together right?

they will get along, but i doubt they will school

Guy at the LFS said they were kinda hard to keep so i just went ahead and got more neons which is probably better anyway.

I also got a snail eater(Pakistani loach)

do people think they won't school b/c of difference in size or behavior?

i have a small school of neons and they school with my white clouds -- although the white clouds get bored sometimes and break off to play in the current from the filter.

similar tetras like glowlights and neons will school, but rummy's are a bit faster and dart more

No they don't school together. The Neons group together and the Rummys group together. Still, their little clusters are nice to watch. They all join ranks sometimes to feed or just to swim around. But they are different speed and a little different size.
