I'm new to the forum and am in desperate need of advice. As I've mentioned before, I just recently was granted four glofish zebra danios for Christmas with a five gallon tank. My boyfriend had asked a worker at petsmart how many gallons they need and she gave him the five gallon tank. I know schooling fish and their space are a touchy topic and right now I am saving up for a twenty or more gallon tank. One of the drawbacks is my room just simply is not large enough to hold this large of a tank.
My concern is that three out of the four are being bullied, chased (violently), and nipped by the larger orange glofish. I'm not sure whether it is male or female, but I have my bets on male. He has one kept in a small cave and the others split into separate corners. What seems to be weird to me is that they school perfectly one day, and are terrorized the next. Besides getting a larger tank, do I have any options without getting rid of the fish all together? Any thoughts?
