We have a 26 Gal. Bow front tank, did the fishless cycle
(that took for.ev.er...), added our first fish back at the beginning of January.
First fish added:
2 Pearl Danios
3 Zebra Danios
Last week we added:
1 Guppy
1 Platy (I don't remember which kind... either a Sunburst or Sunset Platy - I know bad mommy...)
3 Neon Tetras
the Pearl Danios seem to chase the Neon Tetras... they don't nip or anything they just scare the little fellas. I realize that the danios and the tetras all want to be in schools... I had conflicting advice at the lfs about the danio schools. One person said to bring them up to 5 pearls and 5 zebras before adding anything else. One person said that they would school together. Since I wanted to add more variety and color to the tank I went with the advice that said they would school together.
How do it make the Neons feel more comfortable? Do I add more neons and give them more friends? Or do I add more Pearls to keep them occupied? Or should I do something different?
thanks in advance!
