I just introduced 6 Black Neon Tetra and 3 Albino Corycats to my cycled aquarium that already included 5 Zebra Danio. 5 of the new tetra and the 3 corycats seem to be doing well but there is 1 danio that is constantly hiding behind a plant. I am not sure if he is sick or stressed or is just not used to his tank and tank mates.
The water parameters all look good (no ammonia or nitrate and a litlle nitrite) and all fish are eating including the one that hides (he comes out to eat and then goes back). The only other symptom he displays is that he will occasionally be floating in his hiding spot on an angle instead of sitting straight (like he is laying sideways). At other times he sits straight and when he swims he looks normal.
Is he sick, stressed or could it just be possible that he is just intimidated by the larger zebra danio that have been in the tank for a month before these new guys were introduced?
