Very cool! I love that they keep swimming around and around and around.....
I pretty much love all tetras and wish I had a huge tank so I could get a couple giant schools of tetras.

I have some platies, but they don't school, just play "follow-the-leader" now and then. Is something wrong? *GOLDFISH*

No there is nothing wrong. Platys are not noted for being schooling fish anyway, but many fish in a small tank do not school and even in a large tank - I have a 30g tank, schooling fish dont school unless frightened. In a large tank if you had say, 20 or 30 neons they would probably do some schooling.
