Basically the title. I have a tank of Glofish tetras, and it’s always been fine. However, I have one tetra who’s just…small. It’s not really a big problem, it’s just slightly more skittish than the bigger tetras, but I’m confused as to why. For context, here’s one of my other fish.
(Sorry for bad photo quality: I came back from vacation after asking my sister to take care of my fish, and she overfed them, so now I’m trying to get it clear again)
So, as you can see, a pretty healthy fish.
And this is the other tetra. Keep in mind, he’s still healthy…he’s just…small. Now, I feed him just as much as the others, so I don’t think it’s a underfeeding problem, since he eats just as voraciously. I’m not sure why he has black markings. He had them in the store tank, too, and looked just as healthy there as all the others. He acts completely normally, eats and swims normally, and has never been sick, at least to my knowledge.
He’s just a weird little small tetra. And I’ve had these fish for a year, so it’s not like I just got them from the store tank. My leading theory is that he’s male…but I’ve seen black skirt tetras (The Un-glowed variety), and their males look the exact same as females. Any idea why he’s so tiny?
