Hola compañeros!
I’ve just added an extra 5 silvertip tetras to my 36 gallon tank which already had 5 Silvertips. Really wanted a nice schooling fish for a 10-15 fish school and they seemed to fit the bill, but they’re now chasing each other around and fighting. I don’t want any of them to harm each other!
Are they just establishing a pecking order and if so how long will that take? Or would it be best to take the old ones out for a few hours and re introduce them to try and merge them into one school or will that not work? Really wanted a nice school not a WWE wrestling match.
Parameters:
0 NO2, 0 NO3, 0 NH3/NH4
7.3 pH
74 degrees F
Kh 60
Gh 30
Very tannic
Tank also has one oto cat and some baby snails. Water sprite, crypts (spiralis), Anubias, and giant hair grass for plants.
