    hello in my 14 gallon nano tank i have a pj cardinal. and now that i have a bigger tank i might move him, if i move him i would want him to be in a school. at my LFS they have a few pj cardinals the problem is that they are half the size of mine. so if i add a few more cardinals will they all school together(i am thinking of [​IMG]a trio) any thoughts

    Im a little out of it, but I think no. initially yes, but eventually they will pair up and split up.

    You might want to start with a even number for: 1) a larger group 2) they can pair off evenly 3) the social hierarchy can be created. You don't want some guy at the bottom of the totem pole getting picked on all the time.
