Neons chasing each other that normal?

[Thethirdben]

Hi all,

i just noticed my tetras are swiming chasing each other, is that normal?

I've watched them dozens of time and this is the first time i've see them behaved like this.

There also afffecting my white clouds as i've noticed one of my white clouds is chasing the rest of the group.

how long have they been in the tank?

How many fish all together? What size tank?

 

[Thethirdben]

wow,

i've never seen anyone reply this fast, great forum

I recently got a 29 gal, i've had the tank for about a couple weeks, i added 5 white clouds i had from my small 5 gallon tank.

Then after all the levels where good added 6 Neons

It is probably no big deal, they seem to have plenty of room... What are your test results? Just curious, since you say the tanks only been running a couple of weeks. If the readings are not as good as they could be, they might be stressed

 

[gourami]

they could just be establishing a "pecking order"

There are my test results

No3= 0 ppm
No2=0 ppm
Hardness= 50 ppm
Total Alkalinity/Buffing capacity=0 ppm
Ph= 6.8
Amonia= hard to determine

I've been trying to find out what my amonia is at but it keeps on giving me a reading of somewhere around 0 ppm - 0.6 ppm

I then tested my tap water and got the same results as my aquarium.

No nitrates? Have you cycled your tank?

 

[Thethirdben]

I beleve so, i had the tank runing for about a week before i added my white clouds, nitrates where present then,

I then addded my white clouds after my nitrates and amonia went to zero.

I also noticed something one of my white clouds has a purple like dot on its right side, is something vary serious happening in my tank?

all post a picture if i can.

Get a picture for sure. IT sounds like you are going to be doing a 6-8 week fish cycle. Do you know about this, and what to do?
