80 percent of all fish school at some point in their lives, there are a number of fish that live solitary lives. As a rule smaller fish are more likely to live out their lives in schools, although even large fish will school together. Furthermore, not all fish that school do so for protection in numbers. In fact some of the fiercest fish in the world live in schools. Piranha fish live in large schools that they are born into. Although they tolerate their brothers and sisters, a new piranha attempting to join the school later is often attacked and killed.
Quite a few popular aquarium freshwater fish prefer to live in schools. Barbs, Danios, and most Tetras should all be kept in schools. Loaches such as the Clown and Kuhli loach often will pine away if they are not kept in a school of their own kind. Even larger fish such as the Silver Dollar prefer to live in a school. It's a good idea to check with your lfs (local fish shop), or consult a library for information before choosing a new fish. If the fish you are considering prefers to live in a school you should plan on purchasing at least 4-10 of the same species.

All schooling fish ? That would take a long time. Maybe be more specific. Are you looking for schooling fish that will thrive in your tank? If so, how long, wide, & tall is your tank? If you are someone with a long time of spare time you can work on that one. Start on researching at your library & net. good luck
