from my knowledge yes they are schooling fish and they prefer tanks with plants. they dont grow to big averageing 2-3 inchs only. i personally never kept them in my tanks but i do have a uncle with 8 of them in a 29g planted

glows are lovely fish! The females get quite a bit larger than the males. I prefer them over neons actually. My problem is that I can't seem to get any young healthy ones from any of the stores in my town.

almost all species of characins are shoaling fish...the more you have together the more they stick together.
