I really don't know anything about tetras but inherited one and got a second to keep it company. They are black skirt tetras. Are these things human interactive?
The danged things will seem to stare at me. Really, they will just sit still in the water facing directly at me. If I put my finger on the glass they will follow any movement staying their faces against my finger. Is this normal behavior or is it just a matter of my hand being often in the tank working on stuff or the association of my hand being associated with food? Where I normally sit the tank is like 2 feet away. I suspect that it is a food association but, even though a bit weird, it is fun!
