Mexican standoff

[Azure Lord]

They just stay like this for hours on end. They nip and run eachother of from their "territories". Blatant displays of aggression toward eachother.

Could you be more specific about what "they" are?

 

[Azure Lord]

Oh...sorry....i meant to add a picture lol

Glofish tetras × 6 in a 10g
Along with a male betta(hes docile) and several ghist shrimp who also dont get messed with.

I'm sure you don't want to hear this but the tank is too small for them. Cramped quarters can greatly influence fish behavior.

Pretty much :/. All of the glofish types require a minimum of a 20 gallon long in my opinion. Idk why they even sell glofish kits that are under 10 gallons.

I responded to your other post and had not seen this one. I didn't realize you had others in the tank besides the tetras, so there's more weight to the tank size issue than I indicated in the other post, sorry.
It's normal for tetras to warn others from their space, but continual behavior can be stressful if they're worried about defending it constantly.

 

[Azure Lord]

Yes but they arent showing aggression toward the betta....just eachother

That's very common for tetras. While "peaceful", they can do quite a bit of bickering amongst themselves. Your betta is fortunate that they are not directing that his way.

Hes actually friends with one of the smaller tetras
