All tetras are supposed to be schooling, right? And I understand that these have very good sense of their surroundings by their lateral line, but when I've watched them in stores they weren't schooling much. Also on all the sites I read they don't mention shoaling behaviour. Do these school? And if so, does anyone know how?
About schooling, fish can't see themselves, so how do they know which fish match them and so which fish to follow? And if you put a single albino buenos aires tetra in with a bunch of wild type buenos aires, would it try to school with them, despite a very different appearence. And if it did, would they school with it?
Just curious,
Rachael
