Aquarium Advice Regular
I've had cories and serpae tetras now for a couple months and just have added some more fish today. The thing that is really bothering me is that whenever we walk near the tank, ALL the fish all swim to a back corner to hide. I hate to stress them out, but I'm not sure why they are so skittish. Today, we added red eye tetras. When you go near the tank, they freak so badly, they try to jump out of the tank and "thunk" their little heads against the glass top. I think it's stressing me out more than them! I don't want to hurt them, but at the same time, I have to get up and walk at some point!!! Any suggestions? I don't know if it's b/c they are new... I'm hoping they settle down.
