Introducing myself

[Mamaber]

Hi! I have recently gotten back in to aquatics. While I've established much more knowledge than my last attempt many years ago, I still have much to learn. I currently have a 75 gal freshwater community tank, and a 5 gal glo tank. The 5 gal was a gift from my well-meaning husband to get me started as I have talked for years of wanting to get back into this hobby. I am upgrading that one to either a 10 gal or maybe even a 20 gal next week. I then plan to use the 5 gal for a shrimp tank.
My 75 gal is my dream tank. It is currently stocked with corydoras, cardinal tetras, harlequin rasporas, an albino bristlenose pleco, one platy, a few guppies, a neon blue dwarf guarami, a couple ghost and cherry shrimp, a black mystery snail, and one glo fish that wasn't getting along with the others in the glo tank. It was doing well until I added the cardinal tetras. They don't seem to be doing well and I'm not sure why.
I look forward to hearing from you all and absorbing your knowledge and experience.

Hi and a very belated welcome to the forum

Most of the Glofish are social schooling fishes that stress if there are not enough of them in the group. This can lead to anti-social behaviour and fin nipping. tetras, barbs, danios and rasboras all need to be kept in groups of 10 or more. If you only have a couple of them, that would be a contributing factor for it not getting along with the others.

If you can post a picture of the grumpy fish we can tell you what species it is.
