hey everyone,
so my tank finally cycled, and i purchased five neon tetras and a male betta for my community tank. i've been watching my betta, and he seems to be doing ok with them, but i'll take him out if he starts to get aggressive. however, one of the neon tetras is really mean to the other tetras. anytime they form a school around him, he chases them all away. this causes them all to freak out and they swim into the betta, which gets him upset, and he puffs up.
i thought tetras were supposed to be good together? why is this one mean to the others?
thanks.
