I have one Arulius Barb. Are there other fish they will school with?

Question

I currently have just one Arulius Barb. The petstore I purchased it at only had one and I have not been able to find a petstore who carries these fish. I know these are schooling fish and that they would school best with other Arulius Barbs however if I can't find anymore are there any other fish which they could school with instead?

Answer 1

Large rasboras and large sized danios are great schooling tank mates. Arulius barbs school best in groups of 6. I would try a local pet store for more and if they don`t have any, they might be able to order some for you.
