The term "schooling" seems to be used pretty loosely sometimes.
Fish that are actually schooling swim together in a coordinated direction. To me this is the most beautiful thing in the world and I would love to see this in my own fish tank.
Fish that are shoaling swim and hang out together, but do not swim in the coordinated movement of a school.
I would like to know if Zebra Danios school or do they just shoal?
And how about Neon Tetras?
If neither of these truly school, do you know of any small tropical fish that do school?
