Hello,
I bought six pristella tetras about a week ago. They seem to have acclimated fine as none of them are acting weird and none of died. The problem is that they are always hiding. They are not even hiding where I can see them, they are always behind my driftwood, so I have to go to the side of my tank and peak around the back, just so i can make sure they are alive. No other fish I have ever gotten has hid like this. the tank is planted pretty good with live plants, and there are several pieces of driftwood. The other Inhabitants are
1x Angel
5x Neon Tetras
6-8x Khuli Loaches
1x clown pleco
2x cherry barbs
2x gold barbs
The tank is 36 gallons if has 2 filters on it, one internal and one HOB. I havent even seen the pristella tetras come out and eat. What could be their problem and do you think they will eventually stop hiding? Right now I regret buying them, since I can't even see them, but I really like the colors on them, so I hope they come out.
