We got 4 tiger barbs over the weekend. They are in our well established (4+ years) 29 gallon tank along with 2 cardinal tetras (I think that's what they are... smallish like neons, gray body and a red glowing stripe), a pleco and a rainbow shark.
My question is this. The barbs have been acting very spazzy, (or as my almost 2 year old son says, "fishies funny")... they almost remind me of zebra danios the way they are zipping around the tank chasing each other (not bothering the neons or the rainbow, and since the pleco always hides I don't think they've met him yet)...
Is this normal? They've been in there since Saturday morning, and I did acclimate them to my water slowly over the period of an hour and a half or so...
Thanks!
