    I’ve studied fish and I can say with absolute certainty that they are not capable of forming schools. They only care about their own bubble and how close they are to the adjacent fish, striving to keep a minimum distance to each other. On the whole they cannot possibly move as a school. That would require a conspiracy of an uncountable number of fish, an implausible achievement for a creature with a brain the size of a pencil tip.
