Fish recomendation?

[Sam]

This may not be the best place to ask, but I am looking for a type of
small fish that will form a tight school in my 30 long tank that I discussed
earlier. Neons aren't tight enough. TIA

Exactly - as they get more comfortable they will spread out, if
something happens to shake them up, they will stick together!

Didn't want to come off harsh, but if you have 3 schools of 'schooling'
fish, you'll have loose schools... When you factor in a larger fish,
predator, or a largish presence, they realize they'd better stay close for
safety... Even my Kribs are enough to keep neons together.... I've got
several krib babies in there, slightly bigger than the neons, and that helps
keep them together...

I took it as a humorous reality.

I have a 4 in angel, think that will do? Even so I would like something
other than neons, I want a freshwater stream look.

I've been wanting to introduce an intimidating presence to my tank, these
danios I have think they own the place. How badly would a pair of kribs
harass my dwarf frogs and my ghost shrimp?

The Kribs may go after the bottom dwellers during breeding. Fish in
the top half of the tank should be safe.

Can you believe I have been to 4 stores here in OKC and none have
Kribs. Yellow labs are everywhere. Thinking of getting them instead
but worry they may be more aggressive than Kribs.

Here in the suburbs of NY, only 1 of the 4 LFS even claim to sell
Kribs...but they're always "out."
