Lemon Tetras

[rayjay999]

I just got 3 Lemon Tetras two days ago (Going to get 4 more next week) and I've been noticing that one of them (he has the brightest colours) has been chasing the other two. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen. I was wondering if this is normal behaviour or not. Thanks in advance!

Most tetras will chase each other about for a while after being moved. It is a pecking order thing. The members of the group need to know their place. It usually doesn't do any damage and lasts for a few days. You do have a small group at the moment though. In small groups, they can get stressed and that can bring on some aggression. You'll be better when you have th eother 4.

It is also not unusual for males, (including fish), to chase females.
