Has anyone else had issues with their White Skirt Tetras going on chasing/nipping sprees? My school of 8 in my 36 gallon bowfront were fine until a few weeks ago, but lately they've been a bit crazy. It looks like one of them has gotten rather egg heavy and is the usual chase target, but anyone that gets in the way is fair game. It's gotten so bad that they've decimated their white cloud and neon tetra tankmates... Down to 2 and 3 respectively of their original schools of 6. Two of my Zebra Danios have wasted away as well, I suspect due to stress from the chasing/nipping. Water parameters are all normal. Nitrates jumped a little when I started losing tetras and minnows due to not always finding the corpses immediately, but never got above 40 ppm.
Any suggestions on how to calm them down? I'm okay replacing the white clouds with something else (was considering emperor tetras), but the neons were doing really well at filling out the lower middle of the tank...
