My 55 gl tank just recently cycled and I went to my lfs to pick up some fish. I got 6 red eye tetras, 9 scissortail tetras and 5 giant danios. once they settled in I noticed all the tetras were huddled on one end of the tank and the danios were flying around all crazy and chasing the tetras when they tried to swim around. So returned the danios yesterday and at first it seemed to help a lot. The tetras were swimming around exploring the tank all happy...
This morning they're all back on one end not moving around much. Even when I fed them they would swim out, snatch a bit of food, and swim right back.
What the heck? the all look very healthy, nice colors now that they have calmed down. There's plenty of swimming space but they're acting like they are in a goldfish bowl...
I have the back and both sides of the tank covered with black paper to help them feel more secure.
theres some current but nothing too strong.
Lots of plants and hiding spots.
