Recently my fiancee brought home a lonely Neon Tetra that was all alone in his/her tank at the LFS. We added it to our tank (We have 3 Gold Dust Mollies, and 2 Blackskirt Tetras), and all it did was hide.
So we added 3 more, thinking they would form together as a school. Now one stays at the front leftside of the aquarium, another on the front rightside, and the other two just hang out in the back. All my decor is in the back, a sunken pirate ship and a bunch of plastic plants, the front is wide open for swimming.
Is there a reason why they seem anti-social with each other? I presume the two in the back are just hanging back there to stay in the shade. The other two seem to be social butterflies with the rest of the fish, but not each other.
Thank you for any feedback or information,
