Hi,
today is my 1st day here. I found my tiniest (he is about half the size of the others) black skirt tetras hiding. Then after water change laying on the gravel. he does swim sometimes. They do want to school and wander off to be alone. Staring out glass or nibbling on back glass. I left the water sit a day and use prime. I don't know what to do.
