Hi guys!
I recently started a tank (8.5 gallon warm FW).
Two days ago, I got my first few fish: 3 Golden Zebra Danios & 3 Longfin Leopard Danios.
I remember that when I researched Danios, I read that the mainly chill near the top of the water. Mine, however, are staying near the bottom of my tank. They only come to the top if I open the lid or feed them, but as soon as they finish eating it they all go back down to the bottom.
Is this due to stress, or is there a reason they're acting like this?
Thanks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(PS: one of the Golden Danios looks much younger and smaller than the others. He/She isn't schooling with the other Danios, but is rather hiding in the corner or near the shelter I got for my Khuli Loaches [<--- Haven't got them yet] Should I be concerned about it?)
(PPS: So far I've seen no aggression among them, but the biggest Danio (a Longfin Leopard) occasionally chases the others (particularly the Goldens). I'm presuming this is just an act of dominance?)
