The thing I love about corydoras is that they are CHILL. There is no hierarchy, no egos, they get along with everybody, they are a totally egalitarian fish.

@@l.o.r410 I've kinda had that with neons too, they don't always school and need good conditions usually. The thing with neon tetras (and most other schooling fish) is that they need some sort of trigger to make them school. For example, a large denison barb is just the right size to not eat them but to "scare" them into schooling. This is because schooling is kind of a defense mechanism (if I were to oversimplify it). Fun fact, go to your LFS and see some tank with schooling fish that aren't schooling at the moment, than take your hand and try to "scare" them, and see how they suddenly school. Anyways, to answer your question, I have seen black neons school in groups even as small as 4-5, but that's also because they were in a diverse tank. However, I can't guarantee you that they'd school! Hope I helped, sorry couldn't answer your question directly.
Odessa barbs are my favorite. Just love the color when you can get really dark ones.
Awesome video! These kinds of things really inspire me for my own channel! Thanks for the great content!
I have a 90 full of Denesonii (roseline sharks) that are great schooling fish. they're all over 4 inches now and it looks awesome with them cruising through all of your plants.
Old school here, hanging with the tiger barbs...
Dustin called me once when I ordered a bunch of plants. He was JUST like this. I'm a fan. Dude is 100% all the time.
Thanks Dustin , your teaching an old lady new fish care.
I just ordered dirt from you to get my tank started! I’m planning on doing a tiger barb planted species tank, and when I can upgrade to a 100g I’ll get some clown loaches. great video.
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE FISH PERSON ON KZread. I love your humor and videos
Your energy is unmatched in the fish KZread community. I love it.
Rollercoaster of a video, loved every second
I have filament Barb's in my 90 they are very active ,really nice looking as well
I have a 5 and 6-banded barbs. They are super cool when schooling in big numbers. Awesome fish. They do get big too.
HAHA i laugh and this quality content is good!
I've had neon tetras and they mostly preferred to hang around nearer to the mid bottom of the tank. I've got harlequin rasboras now and they're bold as brass and absolutely zoom around everywhere together. Really a much tighter school and really active compared to the neons.
You had my full attention the whole video Kudos for this educational content
Great video. Instant sub. Ty!
This is the best fish commentary I have ever heard 👌👌
The energy is everythingXD
I find other people absolutely love the way neon tetras look and are super impressed by them. Any time I have people over the first fish they comment on is my absolutely massive angelfish, Big Bertha, and then they immediately start asking questions about the neon tetras and the blue stripe on them

Zachary Sides this was how it was for me and the tetras in my old 40 gallon.....”are those salt” lord help me
Props for the schooling dance, Dusty! 💕 Hehe
I’ve always been in love with the cory cats. Just like Dustin said, do it up!! These fish love to be with each other and they are ADORABLE. Also, I purchased a bunch of Harlequin Rasboras today and they are starting to school beautifully. They’re peaceful and relatively small. They favor the middle to top area of a tank adding lots of movement. Get no less that 6 of them. However, I went ahead and bought all they had! I have 21 Rasboras!
Have a small school of 7 panda cories (with male guppies and nerite snails) in a 29 gallon. Planning to add a sunset honey gourami soon. In a 20 gallon, have 10 neon green rasboras - microdevario kubotai. Looking to add another 10 when back in stock at my LFS, and still figuring out the rest of the stocking for that tank.
Oldschool Dustin in da house :) love it. Not that i don't love Dustin The Greenhouse Boss.

I love rainbowfish because every morning they flair up and display their amazing colors for me, and I love how food aggressive mine are, but yet they're very good for community tanks.
I’m a BIG fan of the lemon tetra! If kept well they will be a beautiful yellow color and they are a medium sized tetra so they can hold their own. A school of the, and serpaes is such a cool look!!
Can you imagine if this guy didn’t have the fish hobby outlet haha so intensely educational you can tell he loves and breathes this I appreciate the passion👍🏼

I have rummy nose tetras and cardinals. They are my two favorites. Black neons I like also. They are hardier than regular neons. Green tiger barbs are doing well in one of my tanks. I also got a barb I never saw before rhombo barbs. They were pricey for barbs so I only got five but they are very nice.
I kept 10 Odessa Barbs in my community with lots of small fish and cories. They were so much fun to watch they would chase wash other around the plants and driftwood and do this for a long time. Loved playing in the current if I added a power head and never bothered any other fish. Very under rated barb, the black and stands out in planted tank with any coloured substrate
You came in at a 15, which is the level I needed. 10/10 approve
I’ve got a group of boesemani and turquoise rainbow fish who provide big color and action in my 46 gallon tank. Cherry barbs are a nice contrast and aren’t intimidated by all the splashing and high speed activity. Rounding out my tank are a recently added school of rummy nose tetras. These might be my new favorites. What didn’t work was a school of neons. Gradually picked off and just too slow to deal with the boisterous rainbows. Also lost every one of my 6 dwarf panda Cory cats. I think the neons and Cory’s would have been fine with Praecox and threadfin rainbows.
Hey Dustin, got a 2nd hand 450 litre and I'm putting 3 out of your 5 picks in it. 10 Boesemani rainbowfish, 40 Cherry Barbs and 14 Panda Corydoras. Please let me know if that's a good mix or if you would change a bit. Thanks.
Snakeskin barbs are amazing schooling fish, super cool fish with a blue shine to them.
I'm gonna go old school and say my all time favorite... neon tetras 🤷♂️. My 60 gallon DIRTED planted tank (pictured to the left) filled with 60 neon tetras! Along with around 200 cherry shrimp. Best tank I've ever had. Never scared to come up during feeding. And schooling in that heavily planted tank... the natural behaviors were awesome to watch!
As you mentioned tiger barbs can be fin nippers, fine without angels most likely in community tank. Keep videos coming
Clown loaches are great, I keep mine with a spawn of 30 Cory's I raised. Keep in mind every aquarium set up is different.
Barbs are my favorite!!! My favorites are Fillament/Rohani/Mascara barbs in a school. Plus Black Ruby Barbs with Odessa Barbs.
Yo dusty I'm rolling with about 40 green neons, 20 red phantoms, and 9 rummynose in my 75 Blackwater. The phantoms hold down the bottom to mid level, green neons up top and the rummies all over. It looks spectacular 🤙👍

I love my tetras. Right now I have Black Skirts, Black Neons, Serpaes and Beacon Tetras, while in the past I've also kept Neons and Glowlight Tetras (not Glofish). I also have six Giant Danios, which are active and super-hardy without the constant frantic chasing and fighting of Zebra Danios.
I know what I want. Once my family and I move to Knoxville Tennessee I'm going to build a plywood fish tank so I can get a freshwater puffer in a planted tank.
I’m currently rolling with schools of neon tetras, cherry barbs, rummy nose tetras, and green Cory cats in a couple of tanks. Love ‘em! About to add a group of celestial pearl danios to my newish 40 breeder planted up with your plants! Glad to see you mixing in some fish species videos again!

Dustin's Fish Tanks I hear they are pretty shy but hoping other schooling fish will make them feel safer. Going to try them in with the rummy nose and corys. (And a few clown killis too)
I had 6 Tiger Barbs in my 100 gallon community tank. One of those dudes got stuck where he used to sleep so he met his maker soon enough. I got 5 barbs left and they're moderately active and nip at my kois so Imma add five more to ease the tension
Lemon tetras - so underrated. Not as colourful as many options but they make up for it with loads of personality and activity.
Hello Dustin. I have just started my first planted tank and it will be ready in a couple months. So just asking, are shrimps safe to keep with kuhli loaches? As both are bottom dwellers?
Dustin, How many Exodon paradoxus for a 150 gallon ? :) 200+ ??? (6' long style 150g)
Rhombo Barb's aka Snakeskin Barbs. I have a school of 6 in my 55 and looking to add more when I come across them.
I love a school of emerald eye rasbora's. I have 9 In a 75, but adding 10 more.
Any danios as runners up? I have 9 rose danios in my 20 gallon long and they are endlessly entertaining,
BRO!!! GOTTA GO WITH THE DENISON BARB/ROSELINE SHARK !! They say they are rare but for some reason I keep coming across them in Vegas. Watching them eat with a quickness and swim in and out of YOUR Crypts is amazing. Thanks "Dusty"
Barbs are great. My tigers used to fight so much though. They started killing one another off. Rosy red barbs have to be my favorite. Though my all time favorite hands down is the rummynose tetras! Gotta love that red face and checkered tail fin! The thing is people say they are sensitive and tough fish to keep. Though I've never had a problem with them. They have to be the longest fish I've kept. Haven't had much luck with the rainbow fish.
Do albino versions count towards the school? ie 6 albino neon tetras and 6 regular; or 12 regular
Cherry barbs nice fish,sweet for me any how.
I like torpedo barbs....add a few albino and xantic..lovely Nv stop moving...and best part...when feeding time....no food hit the bottom...keeping 12 with red arowana and 8 angels
Imo you can mix corys tho because they look similar enough that they will all school because they just see "oh look another cory lets be friends" but some people say otherwise.
1:35 yep thats what i did when i started and it was totally overcrowded.....but i learned my lesson :3
He is so right. I've done it and everyone else has. Love sharks for dithers.
Nice 😊
I have a 29 with 12 zebra danios and 1 angel fish but I'm getting a 90 gallon I want to know what schooling fish would go in it but bigger size fidh that schools
Yoyo loaches are crazy sneaky schoolers they get up to serious activity’s and each has a different personality and get along with pretty much any fish big or small
how many smaller tropicals, lets say neon tetras, would you put into a 100 liter tank?
Maybe a tip about tiger Barbs I read and experienced myself(no guarantees) It seems to help when they are added as last in the tank regarding their territorial behavior. Larger groups like 10+ and they school up with clownbotias. Do not keep them with longfin fish like angels. I right now have them with corydoras, congo tetras, rainbows and clownbotia and it all goes very well in a 240L tank. Great video Dustin!
I LOOOVE ROSY BARBS mine school like crazy with the odessas and gold barbs
dude. what are the fish in the 2nd slide as soon as the videos starts with the split fins. yellow and blacc
I love my Buenos Aires tetras
Hi , I have done two attempts to breed rainbows , the fry about 50 survivors per attempt I ve put in a nice heavy planted tank to grow out. After 3 months or so they become a true school,beautiful and in time 6/7 months of age they show some color and pretty much fill the tank. Easiest attempt was the preacox and therefore a real recommendation. Second species was the boesemani aiinjo, pfffff they ask for your patience to grow up. Stunning is to see a fish you love grow and color up . And man do they school beautifully. After a small year they all found other homes. This is also the time I learned to master the siphon, I guess you know how small and fragile rainbow fry are. You have siphon the tank and not touch or suck in the fry, I got the degree Precision Siphonner ( no running/ short hose and you have to stand on one leg with one eye closed) Siphon On

Can clown be kept in Planted aquariums without a problem?
I need some advice from the jungle val guy and his loyal followers! Everytime I trim my val, the leaves rot and melt all the way back. I've watched videos but everyone just trims their plants and I guess everything is fine for them? Idk what I'm doing wrong. I like the plant around 3-4feet so it drapes across the top of my tank. I usually trim a good foot or two off. Tank is low tech with a small amount of fertilizer capped with sand. I used to dose but u started to get Blackbeard algae so I've since stopped. Lighting is at 5k lumens and the sun hits the tank for part of the day

Gold(en) barbs!! Not aggressive like other barbs and very pretty still
That coffee is hard 😊and thank you for the info. I have a clown loche( or how is called) and he is mean sometimes as I had to move my corys in another tank . And now he is bullying some other smaller fish . The guy that gave me the tank put too many fish in a 30 galon

Roseline shark and Cory cat
What's the fish that appears at 4:17?
I like this list but he should of included danios , i keep zebra danios and they in my opinion rival even neon tetra because the type of danios i keep are the zebra danio that have great patterns and they are really hard to kill , they can take a wide range of temperatures and PH and they are just full of energy . They are top feeders but mine just explore the whole aquarium .
