Getting Neons to School (drive them there?

0

Hi, I have a 75 gallon tank with about 18 neon tetras and am planning on getting another half dozen or so. Currently, I also have 4 peacock gudgeons and am planning on getting a few rams and maybe Apistos. My problem is that my Neons are not schooling, at least they don’t form really tight looking school. I have a moderately well plastic planted tank and I think the Neons just feel pretty safe in the tank. Can you recommend any easy to care for fish that would scare the Neons into schooling. Not something that would eat them, but just something to make the neighborhood seem tough enough to rekindle their schooling instincts. I’ve thought about discus, but only want to do at most 5 gallon water changes each week. Any suggestions? Thanks. Nate Terry
