You're right Doug. In the wild they are schooling. I was referring more to the home aquarium. One of the problems with these fish in the aquarium is that they require constant feeding and if they aren't actively picking off food in the water column they are harassing each other. I started with thirteen and now 3 years later I'm down to three. Nasty little buggers!
