My cardinals don't like going to school, lol

Hi
I have a small school of 5 C-Tetras, but they don't really school together. I read elsewhere on the site here that the more you have, the stonger the schooling habit.
Is that true? I'd hate to spend the $ and waste the bio-load on more Cards (when I would rather get another Blue German Ram, lol) if they still won't school any better.

thanks in advance!

Hello Sheamurai. According to your aquarium information these fish are in the 77g. Schooling is a form of self defense. The more the fish feel comfortable in the tank the more likely they are to stray and swim on their own. Too, the larger the tank the more likely they are to school. Yes, the more you have, the more they will school as well.
I'm sure you've heard the old saying " there is safety in numbers".

Evidently I need to get a pirhana or something equally nasty - my Cards are so comfortable they only visit each other on Holidays and weekends!
