Help! My Fish Are Acting Strange.

[emnem]

Hey!!

I have a 64L tank with 6 glowlight tetras in it. The 6 glowlights were all really happy and swimming round so i decided to add some more fish to my tank today. I added 6 green neon tetras (similar to neon tetras).

When i first added them to the tank they were fine and swimming round in a big shoal with the glowlights, however after being in the tank for a few hours the green neons started to dart around the back of the tank like doing really fast lengths and now they just keep huddled togeather in a corner of the tank. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with them??

Please help.

I heard that they are not keen on bright light so have dimmed the light to make it darker for them but has made no difference.

Thanks

perhaps they just arnt comfortable with the other fish.. i would give them some time to come out.. all my small fish tend to do the same for the first few days.. then they get the hang of it and i see them all over the place.. are your glolights bigger than your new tetras?

No they are both the same size it's just strange how when i first released them into the tank all 12 swam round in a shoal then when i turned on the night light (a dull blue light) after it went dark, the 6 new green neon tetras went a bit crazy swimming round and then huddled in a corner.

Thanks.

Visit the other thread, it seems the tank isn't cycled as it is only a few weeks old
