I have noted that in at least one case, tetras will school with a
similar species. I have 6 Cardinal tetras and 6 neon tetras in my 29
gal planted tank.

Neons and cardinals will school together. Probably because they look so much
alike. Kind of like a lone clown loach will school with tiger barbs.
