lemon tetras - Aquarium Advice

Talon242 · 08-12-2004, 08:36 PM

I currently own 3 lemon tetras. One was alone for quite awhile before I bought the other 2. The 2 seem to school, if that can apply to 2 fish lol. The other seems like a loner, and sometimes gets chased by one of the others. Could this be becuase the way they were introduced or just becuase there isn't enough to have a so called social class thing going on? I plan on getting at least 8 more if my [acronym:859e4cad24="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:859e4cad24] stocks more, maybe that will ease the tensions.

They will appreciate more members to establish a "pecking order" and then one single fish won't get the brunt - as they'll all have a role. It should help a lot.
