breakaway Posted May 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Yeah, But I just cant figure out why my neons arent schooling anymore ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.L Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Yeah, But I just cant figure out why my neons arent schooling anymore ? It might be because you don't have enough, but it look like you have added a few fish over the last week or so, so I wouldn't add anymore.. The pics/tank is looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakaway Posted May 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Thanks. The Red Phantoms have this black dot on their sides and some black & white colouring on their dorsal fins. Those colours have been getting darker the past couple of days. Does this mean the fish is not stressed anyomore ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Fish usually school when they're feeling threatened. A lot of the time they stop schooling when they feel safe. Put a fish in there that scares them, they'll likely start schooling again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGilchrist Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 looking good, and yes the better the colours on a fish the less stressed they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 i HAVE noticed the same thing. At the moment they are in different parts of the tank playing swim down the currents. I have 30 - 40 different sorts of tetra in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
