I've recently bought 6 x Black Phantom Tetras, with the idea of them being one of my schooling fish.
I love the look of them, but you hardly see them!
They come out for food, but normally spend most of their time in the darkness or hiding, especially one in particular.
They occassionally come out and hang around, but not often at all and I'm disappointed.
I've since learned that they are all females. I don't really like the look of the males, but would one bring them out of their shells so they would be more social?
On the other hand, I also have 6 x Zebre Danios, and these fellas are fantastic schooling fish, they're very playful and great to watch them frolic about.
