Another schooling fish thread

How about these:

What are they and will they school?

No-one?

I never seen those in my life. Are you located in Japan? I would be willing to give them sukers a try.

Are they fairly small? It's hard to tell from the size of the pic ... could they be a small goby in the <a href="http://www.wetwebmedia.com/coryphopterus.htm">Coryphopterus</a> genus?

They look like Regular Neon Gobys. No, most of the time they won't and usually only stay in pairs if that.

Neon Gobies are black and white or black and gold. That's the biggest pic they have unfortunately....

Impossible to ID from that pic. I've seen a Dottyback species with a similar coloration, but from your picture I can't tell if they're Dottybacks- or possibly a mimic.

I found the answer by googling the Japanese name. They are Eviota bifasciata - Twostripe pygmy goby:

awww ... those are cute little guys

Are you putting them in your big tank?

If they were actually red and white I think I might have but I believe they are actually black and white so I'll pass.
