Lemon Tetra's

[polocrosseplyer]

Just put in 2 lemon tetras and another flame which makes 3 flame 2 lemon,

the lemon arent eating and the flame seem to move them off the food when they try to eat, should I put another lemon in there to even it out or just give them a little bit longer to get adjusted to the new tank? they have been in there for a day so far.

Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!

I'd say wait a few more days. My guess is that the lemons have the stress of a new tank, plus new companions they are probably nervous about. It'll pass.

You really need to look into a larger tank. All of those fish like to push and bully eachother around and they will all get around 2" a piece so they need more room to avoid eachother. KYle

well... one of the lemon's is gone now, when i got to work he was upside down... everyone else seems fine, they are eating and playing.. i hope the bigger lemon makes it though, maybe he got better adjusted. i've been changing the water about 10-20% because the nitrites were high, but everything else is looking good. so lets hope i dont screw anything else up!!
