i had one male black phantom tetra and i recently bought 2 females that are smaller and when i put them in the tank, the male keeps doing this fancy dance around both females but they are still trying 2 get used to the tank. will he stop after a while or wut?

I had the same sort of thing happen to me when I introduced 2 new female BPT's to my tank, which already had 2 males and 2 females...the behavior eventually died down and they co-existed fine...actually, with time the females eventually started to boss around the males a bit. I think the real reason for this is because ur male wants to reproduce, but it could also be his way of saying, "this is my tank"...either way they should be fine
