Hi all,
I begun fish keeping approx 4 month ago.
this is when I purchased a 10 gallon tank along with a few plants substrate decor filter heater etc.
After letting the tank cycle for 3 weeks I added just a couple of snails. I then left it another couple of weeks and tested the water.
All was good with ph etc so I purchased 6 glow light tetra.
the tetra responded very well to the new environment and I was very happy. 2 weeks later I added 6 more glow lights. Again they settled in well. After a further 2 weeks I added 6 black neon tetra as I had read from various sources that they would make good tank mates and like roughly the same parameters.
Again the took very well to the tank and they all got on well. Unfortunately I lost 1 black tetra for some unknown reason and all the rest are fine.
They have now been in the tank a further 2 weeks and I have noticed the largest black tetra stays at the top of the tank almost where I feed them from and if any of the other tetras go anywhere close it chases them off.
It seems to be making the other rish stay quite close to the bottom most of the time.
I check parameters often and have no other issues. All the fish do look ok and I can see no damage caused by the big one.
Any advice please
thanks
Daz
