Lone Wolf

Hey guys, well I just wanted some advise on one of my neon tetra. I have a school of around 7 Neons they all are usually together hanging out like old chums. Although there is one Neon that like to hide all alone inside one of my trunk decors. All the other Neons are happy they swim around doing their business etc. Any ideas why its hiding ?

Hes sometimes with the group when they are feeding.

Not sure if its a he lol xD or a she.

Is your fish injured in any way? Have you checked out his fins?

I don't think he is, hes hiding inside and I don't really want to take him out and stress him. I think that is just the one i recently bought 1 of. I had some money laying around and I bought only 1 o.o to make the school a little bigger. Maybe that could be it little home sick ? Poor guy he probably misses his swimming buddies . If he comes around when its feeding time I try to give him a quick checkup while hes eating xD.

I say he because its easier to talk about the fish xD.

It's probably a home sick kind of thing. I bought two fish in December, and then added one to the tank in January. The first two are totally like brother and sister, but the little black moor is a loner. They still hang with one another, but not THAT close. It's like a family thing!

Yeah... I call me fish all 'dude/he' and two of them are females.

Haha, I hope so . Just looked a little weird seeing him all alone .

When did you get them? If they are new then it may be scared coming to your tank and it will take some time for it to ajust to your tank
