In the previous article on understanding schooling fish , we discuss the common behaviors of schooling fish. In this following article we shall discuss on feeding and breeding tropical schooling fish. Schooling fish are mostly omnivorous, and share the same breeding characteristics. Most schooling fish are egg scatterers. This means that, in a community tank, there are certain guidelines that need to be followed to keep them healthy and prolific. Feeding and Breeding Schooling Fish Feeding Tropical Schooling Fish: Tropical fishes like tetras, barbs, and danios are omnivorous. Most tetras eat insects, but also feed on flakes and pellets. Barbs and danios eat live foods but also supplement on vegetation. Schooling fish prefer to swim in the middle of the tank, and enjoy chasing live food such as mosquito larvae, bloodworms, etc. If, however, these are not available, flakes floating in the water are a good enough substitute. If both live foods and flakes are unavailable, the plants in the tank will also do just fine for these omnivorous species. Feed your schooling fish frozen foods as a last resort. Remember that live foods are essential to characins and cyprinids, because a diet rich in live foods enhances their coloration. Breeding Schooling Fish: Tetras, barbs, and danios are all egg scatterers and do not exercise any type of parental care for their eggs or young. Though they may breed in a community tank, most of the eggs and fragile fry may not survive. Tetra broods are usually small, while barbs spawn with hundreds of eggs. In both cases, adults should be removed before they even get a chance to prey on their eggs and young ones. For better success in breeding egg scatterers, transfer a breeding pair to a spawning tank
