Hi.
I have a 25 gal tank which I've run for about 6 weeks with 7 platties. The 7 that are in there seem very happy so I decided to introduce some more fish over the weekend. I picked up a male siamise fighter aswell as 5 neon tetras. The siamise was in the same tank as the tetras in the LFS so I assumed he'd be ok in my tank with them.
over the first night 1 of my tetras was eaten. now after 2 more days and a closer look at the remaining 4 I see 3 of them have fins missing.
my platies are fed in the mornings usually, but I've started feeding them when I get in from work now just incase they get hungry in the night again.
is it known for platties or siamise fighters to eat tetras? they're all about an inch long so I thought they'd be big enough not to be eaten
cheers.
